WNYC's Public Song Project: A People's Concert at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater
At the beginning of every year, an abundance of art enters the public domain. The Public Song Project from WNYC invites anyone, professional musicians and hobbyists alike, to create new musical works from this trove of creative inspiration. The result is a collection of song covers and musical adaptations of books, poetry, films, and more, demonstrating the public domain's usefulness to creators and an opportunity to engage with history through art.

We’ll celebrate the release of the Public Song Project’s first album, with performances from contributors Joanna Sternberg and DJ Rekha. Plus winners of this year’s contest play their songs, as we kick off the 2025 edition of the project.
