A New Home: The DiMenna Center for Classical Music Opens

“By the end of its opening day on Tuesday the DiMenna Center for Classical Music already seemed, in the best sense of the term, old news. The new home of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, on West 37th Street in Manhattan, replete with rehearsal spaces for the ensemble’s own use and for rental to other groups, the center appeared to be a settled issue, a proven success.” —The New York Times

On Tuesday, March 8, 2011, Mayor Michael Bloomberg led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Orchestra of St. Luke’s new home: The DiMenna Center for Classical Music. Built by musicians for musicians, this space is more than just a home for OSL; it is a vital resource for the New York City music community. The center offers acoustically optimized spaces for instrumental music, supporting a wide range of activities, including rehearsal, recording, and performances.
