All they have to do is to login to www.clubfreetime.com and make a reservation.
As for the plethora of free concerts which take place in NYC year round, on weekdays and weekends, during lunch time, late afternoons and various evening hours: many people think that free concerts take place in NYC only during Summer, but nothing can be further from the truth.
Here are the numbers so you could see for yourself: about 1000 free concerts take place in NYC from mid-September to the end of May; and about 600 free concerts take place during the three Summer months (that 600 number excludes June's Make Music New York as on that single day more than 400 free concerts take place in NYC to celebrate Solstice).
As the number of free concerts per a summer month almost doubles the number of free concerts per month during other three seasons, you sure hear more about Summer free concerts.
In addition, Summer free concerts get more publicity, as such major popular concert series as New York Philharmoinic in the Parks, Metropolitan Opera Recital Series, Summer Stage and Celebrate Brooklyn all take place during summer months.
In addition, it's of course lots of fun to spend your lunch or your evening listening to the music you love and to picnic along, but your soul needs those nourishing sounds during other seasons as well. So keep in mind that in New York City you can attend a free concert practically any day of the year, except maybe such major Hollidays as July 4th, Thanksgiving and the Christmas Day.
So please keep in mind that whether it's a weekday or a weekend, a holiday or just a regular day or a weekday night, you can alwasy count on Club Free Time when you want to listen to your favorite music, free of carge.

Classical Music | Modern Works by Underrepresented Composers for Violin & Piano
This evening performance revives an important but neglected repertoire of works for violin and piano by composers who died during the AIDS crisis, including rediscovered works. Presented by violinist Giancarlo Latta, joined by pianist Robert Fleitz, this program brings together seven outstanding compositions written between 1975 and 1991, many of which have gone unrecorded and generally unperformed over the past several decades. Two larger-scale showcase works--Robert Savage's Rhapsody and Meditation and Louis Weingarden's Sonata: Les Violons du Bal--sit at the center of the performance, alongside a new transcription for violin and piano of Chris DeBlasio's Serenade for Violin and Organ, Michael Seyfrit's A Dance of Life, and shorter works by Charles Buel, Yvar Mikhashoff, and Robert Nofsinger.

Jazz | Vibrant Music on the Hudson: Elvis Costello & Taylor Swift Collaborator Performs Energetic & Improvisational Jazz
Live music accompanied by spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River. Wayne Tucker and the Bad Mothas perform energetic, improvisational jazz. Wayne Tucker is a trumpeter, composer, arranger, violinist, vocalist, actor, and model who has released 5 albums under his name and performs regularly with his band, The Bad Mothas. Wayne has toured and recorded with a diverse array of notables such as jazz musicians Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Cyrille Aimee; pop acts Taylor Swift, David Crosby, Elvis Costello; R&B singers Ne-Yo and Gabriel Garzon-Montano; hip hop artists Jidenna and Ryan Leslie; and more. This diversity is represented in The Bad Mothas' energetic sound, where the American Songbook gets a welcome update, including selections by Michael Jackson or Earth Wind & Fire. Tenor saxophonist Miles Tucker holds a lean, mean counterpoint to Wayne's gentle affability on trumpet. Drummer Diego Joaquin Ramirez and bassist Tamir Shmerling provide solid underpinning, which accommodates a varied cast of pianists, most notably the gospel-influenced Willerm Delisfort. The group was featured in the New York Times for its steady schedule of street performances during the 2020 shutdown, representing New York City's infamous grit.
