Night After Night Watch: The Master List
Keeping tabs on upcoming live music events of interest, in and around New York.
Updated July 21, 2024.
Night After Night Watch rounds up details about upcoming performances of interest to the new-music community: contemporary classical music and jazz, electronic and electroacoustic music, and idioms for which no clever genre name has been coined.
This round-up used to be accessible only to paid subscribers, and maybe one day in the future that could be true again. But it’s not, now.
Events are culled from press releases, venue websites, social-media posts, and other online resources, and details are subject to change; follow links to the original sources before heading out to a show. All concerts are listed in Eastern Standard Time.
These listings are not comprehensive—nor could they be! To submit a forthcoming event for consideration, email information to nightafternight@icloud.com.
All opinions expressed herein are solely my own, and do not express the views of any employer.

Judy Dunaway: Aeronaut
Harvestworks Art and Technology Program Building 10a
Nolan Park, Governors Island
Friday, July 26–Sunday, July 28, 11am–5pm, through August 18; free admission
harvestworks.org
Judy Dunaway, the extraordinary and unpredictable doyenne of balloon music, has a new immersive site-specific installation work up now on Governors Island: Aeronaut, mounted under the auspices of the Harvestworks Art and Technology Program, honors aviator Charles K. (“Charlie”) Hamilton, who made the first round-trip flight between New York City and Philadelphia on June 13, 1910—departing from and returning to Governors Island. Dunaway, citing the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission, says Hamilton was “known for his dangerous dives, spectacular crashes, and extensive reconstructive surgeries.” Her elaborate, evolving installation includes adjustments she makes in person daily at 1pm.
