The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, built around 1784 and the oldest remaining farmhouse in Manhattan, will host the event. The evening is curated to feel like a night at a close friend’s home, with performers and guests encouraged to come in loungewear. Refreshments, including tea and assorted treats, will be served. Guests are welcome to bring a blanket or pillow if they would like to sit on the floor.

Ono, an award-winning cellist and concert curator based in New York City, founded Comfy Classical on the belief that rest, comfort, and creative socializing are essential to a fulfilling life. The series pairs top-tier chamber musicians with a multi-sensory, low-pressure setting, and has introduced many first-time listeners to classical chamber music.

Garrison, a violinist who has performed at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center, plays with orchestras across the Tri-State area, including the Albany Symphony, Hudson Valley Philharmonic, and Binghamton Philharmonic. She is also an active chamber musician and explores unconventional instrumentation in the duo Scroll and Reed with her partner, jazz saxophonist and composer Matt Garrison.

The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, a Dutch Colonial style historic landmark, serves as a community resource and educational museum. Owned by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and operated by the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance, the site is dedicated to preserving historic Upper Manhattan, engaging the public through cultural programming, and actively researching and telling the comprehensive history of the farm, including the vital contributions and lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked on the land.

This project is made possible in part with funds from UMEZ Arts Engagement, a regrant program supported by the funding agency Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ) and administered by LMCC.
