Masquerade · Midtown • $240-$370
Phantom of the Opera like you've never felt it: just sixty masked guests roam the Paris Opera House while Broadway-caliber voices perform inches away. Dress code is black, white, and silver.
November 4 at 7:30pm
The DiMenna Center for Classical Music · Hell's Kitchen • Free
Grief rendered in sound: Michael Hersch's searing new works meet the medieval ecstasy of Hildegard of Bingen. Soprano Ah Young Hong and the Wolftone Duo perform music that demands everything and gives back catharsis.

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.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
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.
