NoHo Entertainments are expanding rapidly…
We are home to The Public Theater, Joe’s Pub, Blue Man Group, Bond St. Theater Company, La Mama, The Culture Project – now the Lynn Redgrave Theater – Elisa Monte Dance, Kathryn Posin Dance Company and most recently SubCulture at 45 Bleecker.
The latter and newest entry on our roster offers primarily music performance in every possible genre, the most recent being a concert series called “CONTACT!” a collaboration between the 92nd Street Y and the New York Philharmonic.
One of the reasons the Philharmonic was attracted to SubCulture is the venue’s attention to acoustics, said Edward Yim, the Philharmonic’s vice president of artistic planning. It is rare for the Philharmonic to perform in lesser-known venues; previous “CONTACT!” concerts took place at well-established spaces like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Symphony Space.
“I like that it is a room built for music,” Mr. Yim said “We just liked the vibe.”
You can read more about this and the venue itself from the pages of the Wall Street Journal and at the New York Times
