Our programs highlight emerging and underrepresented composers, musicians, and sound artists, while also offering high-quality performances of both new and historical works to our local community. Founded in 2014, MISE-EN_PLACE moved from Bushwick to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in December 2019. In 2025, we are excited to announce our relocation to Harlem, one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods, and are currently in the process of renovating our new space.
Each season, MISE-EN_PLACE hosts multiple concert series and an international music festival. Our facilities also provide low-cost equipment rentals and rehearsal space, as well as public event space (for lectures, workshops, film screenings, and other community events).
Subsidized Space
With New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)’s generous support, MISE-EN_PLACE is pleased to offer $10/hour subsidized rehearsal space to all eligible New York State artists and musicians. To book space at the $10/hour subsidized rate, please contact us directly with details of your project at rentals@mise-en.org.
This subsidized rehearsal space program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
