The Project RoomOffbeat Concert Venues, from Silos to Rocking Boats
Only in New York can you hear jazz inside an old grain silo, opera in a converted shoe factory, and chamber music on a barge in the East River. Today, a look the city's unusual performance spaces, in all their charm and grittiness. Joining us is Suzanne Fiol, the executive & artistic director of the Issue Project Room (the aforementioned converted silo on the shores of the Gowanus Canal), and Frank Oteri, the editor of NewMusicBox.org, the online magazine of the American Music Center. Also on the show: the Russian-born pianist Vladimir Feltsman has embarked on an unusual project to kick off the season: he's playing Mozart's sonatas on a replica of a fortepiano by Anton Walter, Mozart's favorite piano maker. He joins us to demonstrate the sound of the fortepiano alongside that of a modern instrument.

New York is home to some of the oddest performance spaces around, from an old WWII rescue boat to a converted grain silo. We look at these spaces in all their grit and charm.
