Symphony Space

Symphony Space

Symphony Space is a multi-disciplinary performing arts organization on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Performances take place in the 760-seat Peter Jay Sharp Theatre or the 160-seat Leonard Nimoy Thalia. Music, dance, theatre, film, and literary readings all can be found in these theatres. In addition, Symphony Space provides literacy programs and the Curriculum Arts Project, which integrates performing arts into social studies curricula in New York City Public Schools.

Symphony Space traces its beginnings to a free marathon concert, Wall to Wall Bach, held on January 9 1978 organized by Isaiah Sheffer and Alan Miller. From 1979 to 2001, the theatre hosted all of the New York productions by the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players. Today, Symphony Space hosts 600 or more events annually, including an annual free music Wall to Wall marathon, Bloomsday on Broadway (celebrating James Joyce's Ulysses) and the well known "Selected Shorts", which is broadcast nationally over Public Radio International. The New York company of Revels, Inc. also holds their shows at Symphony Space.
