About Bargemusic
Moored in Brooklyn just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Bargemusic presents great music year-round. Walk across the gangplank of a renovated coffee barge into a “wonderfully intimate wood-paneled room with thrilling views of lower Manhattan and excellent acoustics.” Experience why critics call Bargemusic “the perfect chamber-music hall” and why artists say it is “unlike any other place in the world to perform.”

Spending most of his childhood improvising piano fantasies based on songs by the latest pop culture sensations of the late '90s and 2000s, often times while playing upside down, it is a surprise that Carl Patrick Bolleia has amounted to anything more than a cameo on a canceled sitcom or a manager on the amateur wrestling circuit. However, despite his best efforts, he's been able to find himself at the vanguard of musical experimentation, with hands (get it!? ugh.) in a kaleidoscope of activities, ranging from collaborating with living composers, historical performance on period instruments, contemporary improvisation, a multitude of chamber music and large ensemble situations, sacred music, and of course the standard repertoire.
