Louis K. Meisel, who originated the Salon Series over 10 years ago and has presented over fifty concerts since, continually supporting the events, artists and after-events said he is thrilled to revive the series after a covid lull and a quiet October 2023. Meisel said, “I have been part of approximately forty concerts a year and presented in many event spaces for the pure joy of doing so.”

Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder echoed this sentiment expressing the enormous pleasure they derive from experiencing the exquisite music of the Salon Series in the stunning environment of the Parrish Art Museum. Sandy Perlbinder said, “Steve and I are inspired by the extraordinary exhibits presented at the Parrish, and having a series like Louis Meisel’s Salon Series with such exceptional musicians in addition to the art adds an extra layer of enjoyment.”
