Please join us for our final “Sean Sessions” concert, in honor of Kathleen’s dearly departed brother, Sean Sullivan. He was a beautiful loving soul of a man, and one of Kathleen’s earliest co-conspirators in enjoying live music. Lovingly referred to as Fav, Sean loved to fish and cook and be outside and share good times with a wide variety of people who were dear to him. To celebrate his life we are dedicating our concerts this spring to him.

For our final show of the series, we return to Brooklyn, to the brownstone parlor of our dear friend Kyla. On Sunday, May 24, we welcome flutist and composer Anne Drummond, in a trio with cellist Rubin Kodheli and pianist Brian Marsella. Across all of her work, there is a throughline: a sense of listening—across genres, across disciplines, across distances. Anne Drummond’s music does not settle in one place; it evolves, expands, and invites the listener into its unfolding..
Anne Drummond’s music lives in the spaces between genres—where jazz dissolves into atmosphere, where classical form meets improvisation, and where rhythm carries traces of distant places. A flutist, pianist, composer, and producer, she approaches music as a fluid language, shaped as much by intuition as by craft.

We are taking our next two concerts to Brooklyn, to the brownstone parlor of our dear friend Kyla. On Sunday, May 10, we welcome pianist and composer Marta Sánchez, in a duet with Maria Grand on saxophone. Marta’s music has an unpretentious, poignant appeal. Well-ordered complexity and openhearted energy blur the lines between melody and accompaniment.
Marta Sánchez is a Spanish jazz pianist and composer based in New York City, acclaimed for her innovative voice and original compositions. Her quintet’s albums Partenika and El Rayo de Luz were named among The New York Times’ “10 Best Albums” lists for 2015 and 2019, earning praise from DownBeat, The Wall Street Journal, NPR and more. Sánchez was honored as a DownBeat Rising Star in 2025, and has received international press acclaim for her ensemble and trio projects. Since 2022 she has been the pianist in the David Murray Quartet.
Sunday, 10 May Doors at 2:30 pm, concert begins at 3:00 pm sharp.
Seating is limited. Tickets are only available via Eventbrite

CLINTON HILL
Anne Drummond – Sunday, May 24, 3:00pm Known for her lyrical expression, exceptional tone, and technical brilliance, Anne Drummond stands as one of the most sought-after and respected flute players of her generation. A veteran of Kenny Barron’s Quintet, she has enjoyed a remarkable career as both performer and composer. We hope you can join us!
Please join us in welcoming Sibyl to our next “Sean Session”! Winners of the 2023 WNYC Public Song Project, this sister duo’s rich musical heritage and classical training form the foundation of their singular sound – music that feels both timeless and refreshingly new.
Blending classical and folk influences, the duo Sibyl (Chloe and Lily Holgate) create an evocative sound world using two voices and minimal instrumentation. The result is music that feels both ancient and contemporary, intimate and expansive. Taking its name from the prophetic women of ancient Greece who foretold the future through poetry and song, Sibyl is an exploration of voice, story, and the liminal space between the earthly and the divine. Their sound is full spectrum female folk: two voices creating a complete sonic universe, both comforting and startling – a sound bath with flashes of teeth.
CLINTON HILL Marta Sanchez – Sunday, May 10, 3:00pm Born and raised in Madrid, pianist and composer Marta Sánchez is now immersed in the current global jazz scene here in NYC. Her innovative and original music meshes rhythmic patterns, pop motifs and free jazz intersessions.

It has been a while since the Parlor Series at Dupuy’s Landing has made an appearance in your inbox! We hope that you are well, though (in the words of the poet Wendell Berry) “you have considered all the facts”. To bring more joy to the present, trying circumstances of many things, we are thrilled to announce the return of The Parlor Series. We will be hosting a new run of concerts at both our founding home at Dupuy’s Landing in Chelsea, and at the home of our dear friend Kyla in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Please join us!
Our path back to our series, much like the road we have all been on in these post-covid years, has been challenging and full of loss. First serious health issues and then the loss of several dear friends, and family members, including Kathleen’s brother Sean, took all of our attention. Sean Sullivan was a beautiful loving soul of a man, and one of Kathleen’s earliest co-conspirators in enjoying live music. Lovingly referred to as Fav, Sean loved to fish and cook and be outside and share good times with a wide variety of people who were dear to him. In his honor, we are hosting 4 concerts this Spring — The Sean Sessions. We will begin again with our dearest Sam Sadigursky and his now epic project – “The Solomon Diaries Vol IV – V” on March 22nd, 2026.
We remain forever grateful to Sam, our partner in the Parlor Series for some 15 years (!!) for helping bring together this amazing lineup. All shows are on Sunday afternoons, doors at 2:30 prompt start at 3PM.
Songs of freedom, rebellion, celebration, tradition, independence, loss, hope, decay and renewal – this is the music of Sam Sadigursky’s The Solomon Diaries.
Clarinetist Sam Sadigursky, who was featured onstage in the cast of Tony and Grammy Award winning The Band’s Visit and tours as a member the Philip Glass Ensemble, presents his unique brand of Jewish music, bringing together an eclectic mix of tradition, improvisation and global influences.
He’s joined by accordionist and multi-instrumentalist Nathan Koci, most recently the music director of Illinoise on Broadway, which featured the music of Sufjan Stevens, and The Seat of our Pants at the Public Theater.
“A monumental achievement… In Sadigursky’s musical vision, new music, folk, jazz, chamber music, and Klezmer blend into a unique and highly personal cross-genre hybrid. The interplay between the duet partners is strikingly telepathic… In its totality, the instrumental cycle addresses the 20th century Jewish experience, but its spirit is generous and open enough to reflect that of any population of immigrants and refugees, transcending the particular to address the promises of the American dream, both realized and broken.” – Seth Rogovoy, Chronogram
CHELSEA Sibyl – Sunday, April 12, 3:00pm Sister duo Sibyl’s rich musical heritage and classical training form the foundation of their singular sound – music that feels both timeless and refreshingly new.

We know its been a while! We are still here, and we are looking forward to hosting great music again soon, but we wanted to check in and share some news. It has been a fuck of a year, including the passing of our dear friend Bob Richter. He was a Parlor Series regular with his wife Libby Bassett. So in honor of what would be his 96th birthday we are starting a new online retrospective of his work. The newly restored documentary film “In Our Hands” is now playing online at the Robert Richter Free Film Festival. Please join us!
We honor the groundbreaking work of Robert Richter, a towering figure in documentary filmmaking, with a special screening series in celebration of his life’s work. Throughout his career, Richter has used his camera to capture pivotal moments in history and shed light on critical social issues. This retrospective offers a comprehensive look at some of his most impactful films, each a testament to his relentless pursuit of truth and justice.
IN OUR HANDS is about a magical day, June 12, 1982, when one million people took to the streets of New York to peacefully protest for an end to the nuclear arms race. It remains the largest single peace demonstration in US history. We see extraordinary ordinary people from all over the US and the world who marched and spoke out, demanding action. The film interweaves performers, individual marchers and down-to-earth scenes of the massive gathering — one million people.
We wanted to share with you some exciting news! Our dear friend (and co-producer of Kathleen’s film “The Ultimate Wish”) Robert Richter is having a special tribute with 4 days of screenings at the Firehouse Cinema. From October 5th through October 8th, 11 of his films that have just been restored will be screened at this wonderful cinema dedicated to documentary films. Please join us!

For our final concert of the season, we are delighted to welcome the amazing Danny Fox Trio!!
The Danny Fox Trio has been hailed as “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio” (WNYC New Sounds). A working band for fifteen years, the trio celebrates the release of their fourth album “Time Took Care of It” along with “Time Took Care of It: a Cookbook Companion” featuring recipe pairings, stories, and illustrations.
The Danny Fox Trio
Danny Fox is a Brooklyn-based pianist and composer. After graduating with a degree in psychology from Harvard University, Danny moved back to his hometown of NYC to study classical piano with John Kamitsuka.
Since 2008 he has led the Danny Fox Trio, hailed as “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio” (WNYC’s New Sounds). The trio has released the critically acclaimed albums “The One Constant,” “Wide Eyed,” and “The Great Nostalgist.
He has also founded the genre-bending chamber quintet “Bubble Feed.” Called a “pianist of diverse accomplishment” (NY Times), Danny is active in a wide variety of settings, co-founding the New Orleans rock and roll group Tubby, playing in the Brooklyn roots and bluegrass scene, as well as performing on Broadway and TV/Film sessions.
He has performed with artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Cassandra Wilson, Emmylou Harris, and Christina Courtin and the Knights. Most recently, he composed the music for the documentary “Searchers” which premiered at the Sundance Festival.
We are thrilled to welcome back Robinson & Rohe to the Parlor Series! Please join us as we celebrate the release of their new album, “Into the Night”.
“Into the Night has all the vibes I love about folk music — well-crafted songs written from the heart and played with the hands, harmonies that lift the spirit — but it also features a sophistication of arrangement and production.” – Ani DiFranco
Robinson & Rohe – “Into the Night”
American songwriters Liam Robinson (banjo, accordion, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar, vocals) were brought together over fifteen years ago by their mutual love of afternoon song-swaps, American folk ballads, and wordplay. Since then, they’ve written a distinctive body of original repertoire that draws on the roots music they hold dear, and engages their versatile musical and literary sensibilities as arrangers, improvisers, poets, and producers. Robinson & Rohe deliver a powerful live show replete with effortless harmony singing, soulful grooves, playful humor, and razor-sharp lyrics.
Both accomplished artists in their own right, Liam is music director/vocal arranger of the Tony Award-sweeping musical Hadestown on Broadway. Jean’s songwriting has recently won awards from the Kerrville Folk Festival, and Brooklyn Arts Council among many others.
With the release of a cinematic collection of new songs, Into the Night, on Righteous Babe Records, the duo brings us “a portrait of togetherness and honest, defiant joy in a messy world,” (Anaïs Mitchell)
We are thrilled to welcome back Sam Sadigursky to the Parlor Series! He is bringing another amazing project, inspired by the genius of Django Reinhardt.
On the heels of his acclaimed Solomon Diaries three-album release, which first premiered at The Parlor Series in 2019, clarinetist/composer Sam Sadigursky draws from the tangled life, complicated times and groundbreaking music of the genius Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt to bring us the premier of his new work, The Django Diaries.
Due to unforseen circumstances we have to postpone this Sunday’s concert by Allison Miller and Carmen Staaf. We sincerely apologize for this and hope you can make it to the concert when it is rescheduled.
Thanks again for your support for our series, and we hope to see you at a future time.
