MOMENT is a living museum and community organized for the purpose of creating a comprehensive history of New York City music, and supporting its vibrant music communities. Operating in tandem with educators, musicians, venues, and institutions, we celebrate music culture and diversity in the context of New York City history with the goal of inspiring young artists, supporting independent musicians, and preserving a legacy of innovation and artistry. MOMENT advocates for the support of musicians, music students, and naturally occurring music communities throughout their life cycles and promotes the importance of music to the human condition.
