This thesis is an investigation of the venue’s implications on music consumption and dissemination among the American music landscape. I analyze the topic through theories of media and space that are shaped by Marshall McLuhan, William Duckworth, and Michel Foucault. In addition to surveys conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts on the public’s participation in the arts, I include case studies of my own observations during performances as various venues. However, as I consider both the physical and virtual spaces of music, I center my research on two performances at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City, one observed through live streaming and one in attendance at the venue. Furthermore, I focus on classical music and the effect live streaming and alternative venue spaces have on the Western art tradition’s location as a central genre of American music.
