Does classical music demand allegiance to tradition, or is it inherently a vehicle for reinvention? 

What does success look like for a classically trained artist today? 

How do we define "making it"? 

Set against the stunning backdrop of a gorgeous brownstone, this event explores the evolving landscape of identity in classical music—how musicians shape, redefine, and transcend traditional roles. The setting, elevated above the city with sweeping views and a sense of possibility, is a fitting space to examine how classical musicians reimagine their careers beyond conventional pathways. 

Our distinguished guests, each with deep roots in classical training, have charted vastly different courses, demonstrating that identity in music is not confined to a single trajectory but is a dynamic and deeply personal journey. 

Guests will enjoy complimentary food and bar, with a $35 cover charge for entry.
