NEW YORK — Live music from a violin and bass wafts from a New York City street corner, drawing passersby on a cold February day.

With an empty storefront as a stage, musicians are working their magic again, amplified by sound systems outdoors, in the city whose concert halls have been silenced by the pandemic.

“It’s refreshing,” passerby Richie Clarke said. “Just being out here and hearing it, it reminds me of the magic of New York that you know is always there, but this is sort of like, lighting it up again.”

That “moment of joy in their day” is what Kate Sheeran, executive director of Kaufman Music Center, hopes to bring audiences through its pop-up concert series called Musical Storefronts.

Over 100 chamber musicians to Broadway stars will perform 60 shows through mid-March.
