NYC Connect

In 2023, with support from NYC Connect, Brooklyn Porch Music (then called 5PM Porch Music) took place at several locations in Kensington and Flatbush including: weekly lessons and writing sessions on the porches of generous neighbors, weekly rehearsals in the backyard of Jalsa Grill & Gravy, an Indian restaurant located on the border of Flatbush and Kensington and, end-of-season free and publicly accessible concerts.

Daily Ritual

This short film by Gabe Garcia documents the daily ritual, in which the neighborhood came together to enjoy each other’s company and the music provided by the 5pm Porch Concert band.
