Music Under New York
Music Under New York (MUNY) is a part of the Arts & Design program by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority that schedules musical performances in the New York City Subway.
MUNY does not grant permission to perform in the MTA, as the MTA rules grant any performer the legal right to perform. However, MUNY gives particular visibility and promotion to over 350 groups and artists who choose to participate. MUNY locations include subway and commuter rail stations including the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro North Railroad.
==History==
Prohibition of musical performance in the New York City Subway has been prevalent since the opening of the first line in 1904.〔Tanenbaum, Susie. Underground Harmonies: Music and Politics in the Subways of New York. Ithaca, NY: Cornell Press, 1995〕 The ban continued under Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who also made it illegal to perform on New York City streets.〔(“Industry Cannot Go On without the Production of Some Noise”: New York City's Street Music Ban and the Sound of Work in the New Deal Era )〕 Some musicians still sang and played instruments through the 1940s, '50,s and '60s in an effort to reclaim public space. In 1985, the MTA lifted the ban on subway performance in response to a case against Roger Manning in which the ban on performance was found to be unconstitutional.〔(A Guide for Street Performers )〕〔
In 1985, the MTA created MUNY as a pilot program.〔http://www.mta.info/mta/aft/muny/factsheet.html〕 The program became official in January 1987.〔(Arts for Transit was created )〕 MUNY had no impact on the legal status of subway performing, as MUNY performers are covered by the same rules governing the general public.〔http://www.mta.info/mta/aft/muny/〕 However, affiliation with MUNY provides benefits to performers. These include priority scheduling in popular spots, access to commuter railroad terminals, and fewer problems with law enforcement. And, because the MUNY scheduling system guarantees its auditioned performers with access to high-traffic areas, it arguably results in a more uniform artistic product for MTA riders.
