Eliane Delage
A Festival of Original Music & Local Talent
What’s Playing NYC is a celebration of the vibrant heartbeat of New York City’s music scene — a live snapshot of the artists, bands, and songwriters shaping the sound of our time.
Presented by Eliane Delage & ChamberMusicNY, this free, ticketless event brings together diverse voices in a one-day festival of pure musicianship. From soaring melodies to gritty grooves, every performance is an invitation to experience music as it’s meant to be heard — live, unfiltered, and full of soul.
Our mission is simple: honor the craft of songwriting, champion original music, and connect audiences with the artists who keep NYC’s creative pulse alive. The lineup spans genres and styles, yet shares one common thread — authenticity. Covers, if performed, are limited to one per set, ensuring the focus remains on original artistry.
What’s Playing NYC is more than just a festival. It’s a gathering place for music lovers to discover new music, a showcase for the city’s most dedicated performers, and a reminder that in a world of noise, live original music still cuts through.
