Meet a Composer at Home
171 West 71st Street at Broadway
Thursday, May 15th, 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Landmark West! invites you to drinks with the extraordinary composer Stefania de Kenessey, whose output ranges from choral and operatic pieces to chamber music and orchestral work. Her music has been played throughout the city, from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center, and in 35 countries around the world. (A February performance of a choral masterpiece can be heard and seen on the link below.)
She lives in the Dorilton, one of New York’s finest Beaux Arts buildings, on West 71st Street. It is a Gilded Age individual landmark, notable for its ornate limestone and brick exterior and massive wrought-iron entry gates.
Stefania’s apartment, with its beamed ceilings, original wood paneling, and inlaid parquet floors from 1902, boasts a concert grand piano. We will hear her talk about the apartment and her illustrious career - and perhaps she will play a solo piece for us!
Please be part of this very memorable evening. Attendance is strictly limited.
