Best World Music Venue
Award Winner 2009

2537 Broadway at 95th St. New York NY 10025

Description

The classiest New York attraction to boast an epilepsy-inducing neon marquee (unless you count the McDonald's in Times Square), Peter Norton Symphony Space is a small, impeccably curated theater on the Upper West Side. The Space is, hands-down, the best venue in town to take in world music; the acoustics and intimacy guarantee an experience out of time. Hawaiian ukulele and Iranian spike fiddle are just some of the recent, incredibly varied offerings; don't miss out on this modest gem.

2009 | Best World Music Venue

One of the most grandiose neon marquees in New York can be found far from the perennial noon of Times Square--it's in the Upper West Side, nestled among the strollers and Starbucks--hawking the Peter Norton Symphony Space, a beautiful, modern concert hall that hardly needs the introduction. The broad room is best known as the home of the InterSchool Orchestras of New York and Arturo O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (see the latter immediately), but it's also the central point...
