Music scene · Center Moriches

Center Moriches is a quiet Long Island hamlet where music is mostly a school and community affair. Marching bands, church choirs, and small local performances reflect its suburban, family oriented character.

Performances happen at the high school auditorium, local churches, and park pavilions during summer. For a real music scene, residents head toward Patchogue or into New York City.

Center Moriches sees local and regional artists, with musicians from the New York City area stopping by on occasion.

School music programs and church choirs are the best starting points. Community bulletin boards and local social groups can lead to small gigs, while Patchogue offers more venues.
