On October 27th, join us for a special evening featuring singer Christina Maxwell and pianist Rieko Tsuchida, Sora’s founder and Artistic Director. Longtime musical collaborators, Christina and Rieko have toured and performed together across France, the United States, China, and Japan, and reunite in New York City for a program celebrating beloved jazz, Broadway and pop standards.
From timeless standards to music of the stage, Christina and Rieko will breathe new life into a program inspired by romance, nostalgia, and the glamour and intimacy of the classic New York City jazz club.
Set within The Hotel Chelsea — the storied home and gathering place of generations of musicians, writers, and artists — Autumn Love Letters continues Sora Salon Series’ celebration of music as a catalyst for connection, bringing artists and audiences together through an intimate and immersive salon experience.
