At the heart of Bronx Commons, Bronx Music Hall is a performance venue and community cultural center dedicated to honoring, showcasing, and cultivating music, dance, theater, and interdisciplinary arts in the Bronx.

BMH is the new permanent home of WHEDco’s Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC), which was founded in 2010 to preserve and promote Bronx music, cultivate Bronx artists, spur neighborhood revival, and provide free cultural programs for the community.

Taking inspiration from the Art Deco theaters that still dot neighborhood avenues, the design features precast concrete panels with circular embellishments that evoke the shape of records or compact discs. Inside, the Hall offers dynamic spaces, including a 300-seat performance area, an interactive music exhibit, rehearsal and classroom facilities, and a gallery for rotating exhibits. Outside, street space was reclaimed to create two new public areas.

Tours of Bronx Music Hall, including the theater, practice spaces, gallery, and outdoor plazas, will be led by WXY founding principal Claire Weisz and Bronx Music Hall staff.
