Sora Salon Series returns this summer for a special evening in collaboration with The Hotel Chelsea!

On August 5th, join us for an intimate salon celebrating music, conversation, and exceptional food, whisky, and sake within one of New York’s most legendary creative spaces — once home to artists including Patti Smith, Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol, and Leonard Cohen. Enjoy bites from Teruko, The Hotel Chelsea’s newest Japanese culinary destination, a Japanese Whiskey tasting from Suntory, and music that defines New York's spirit performed by internationally acclaimed musicians.

The evening will feature live performances by clarinetist Anthony McGill, violinist Isabelle Ai Durrenberger, cellist Arlen Hlusko, and pianist Rieko Tsuchida - Sora's founder and Artistic Director..

Join us for a rare opportunity to celebrate The Hotel Chelsea’s enduring role as a home for creative dialogue while celebrating contemporary cultural connections between Japan and New York.
