Subway Musician Auditions at Grand Central Today

2006_05_musicunderny.jpg

If you're walking through Grand Central, head over to Vanderbilt Hall (across from the information booth, up the ramp) where the MTA's Music Under New York auditions are being held. Seventy musicians are auditioning today for 20 spots to win lifelong permission to perform in the subway. The Post has some sketches of a few of the 100 musicians already in the program - they can make up to $50 a hour.

The auditions are from 9AM-12PM and then 1-4:30PM. Here are the official Music Under New York performance locations.

One of my favorite bits of New York has always been those sultry summer late nights when you are on your way home and practically alone in the subway and you hear someone's sax come drifting down the platform. I don't think that sort of emotion can come from anywhere else.

I love walking down to the Grand Central shuttle platform and hearing the music - I hate the shuttle, but I love the musicians playing there.
