November 8 at 8pm +3
David H. Koch Theater · Upper West Side
Silk becomes sculpture in this hypnotic tribute to dance pioneer Loïe Fuller. Jody Sperling's "Vive La Loïe!" transforms voluminous fabric into flames, flowers, and birds through lighting and movement, set to Max Richter's reimagined Vivaldi.
Every day at 3:30pm
The Museum of Modern Art · Manhattan • Free
Sarah Michelson has turned MoMA's atrium into her open studio, where she and a rotating cast of dancers live inside the question: what is dance? Expect explicit language and amplified sound as performance bleeds into pure process.
November 10 at 8pm
The DiMenna Center for Classical Music · Hell's Kitchen
Peek behind the curtain of Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance at this salon-style evening, where nearly two decades of repertory meet brand-new choreography. Works like "Facets" and "Veiled" share the bill with "Counter-part" and an expanded "Folk Rock Icons."

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
