Sounds of the Tenement

What would the Lower East Side have sounded like in 1869? Spend an evening at the Tenement Museum as live musicians perform in an historic tenement, bringing to life the kinds of music that would have been heard in saloons and homes. The musical traditions of German and Irish immigrants came together in these spaces. Listen to the music in an intimate space and hear about the significance of these songs, not just for those who would have performed them, but also for their influence on American music.
