Recital of enchanting French and German 19th century romantic pieces by chanteuse Artemisia LeFay, her first classical recital in nearly ten years! These gorgeous songs by Viardot, Schumann, and Debussy have birthed such extraordinary, visionary, and heart-centered music into the world, you will particularly enjoy the sensual, sentimental, and fantastical themes of this collection!  Joined by pianist Riko Higuma, a sought-after collaborator and chamber musician, also the co-founder of internationally acclaimed and innovative Zodiac Trio.

“Nuit D’Étoiles” will be 4/4 at 4pm (see what we did there?) at the brand new Ressona Concert Hall at 306 West 38th Street on the 17th floor. There is no charge, but we will have a collecting receptacle for those of you who wish to show your appreciation for Artemisia and Riko in the form of tips.
