The 92nd Street Y
I am listening to Barbara Bonney and a guitar, eating a pineapple. She is singing really well. If I had the money, would I go to see more live recitals, probably.
I remember hearing stories about legendary Carnegie Hall vocal recitals ringing around the world back in the 50's, but I don't think Modern New Yorkers have the constitution to sit through recitals of classical music anymore unless the headliner is a former TV star, a crossover artist or Renee Fleming.
Anytime I attend anything at Lincoln Center or even the 92nd Street Y, the people in the audience all look old.

If your good people will come to see you. Sounds like your blaming your failure on us.
You can hear great chamber music at Bargemusic, performed on a docked boat at Fulton Ferry landing by the Brooklyn Bridge. I went recently, and it was really fun. (Added bonus: You can watch the senset over lower Manhattan.) www.bargemusic.org
