With a focus on creativity, storytelling, collective improvisation, and music composition, Brooklyn Porch Music encourages students to think independently and try new forms of expression. Participating youth write songs and stories about their neighborhood and perform them alongside their mentors and peers in underutilized public spaces – subway stations, public plazas, laundromats, and the local Indian restaurant where we rehearse.
Celebrating our 4th year of free music programming, we kicked off our Spring Season with a potluck.
