Inner Form, In Her Fire inaugurates the DVSSIMA Salon series with an exploration of containment, intensity, and feminine interiority.

This evening traces how form does not restrain fire, but holds it, shapes it, and allows it to speak with clarity and power. Through operatic arias spanning three centuries alongside original works by composer and vocalist Dr. Stephanie Susberich, the program explores the disciplined vessel as the necessary condition for resonance, presence, and transformation.

At the center of the salon is the idea that true expression is not excess, but precision; not spectacle, but inner heat made legible. The music moves between restraint and release, stillness and ignition, revealing how voice becomes an instrument of both structure and flame.

Accompanied by pianist Brenda Quattrini, this intimate salon introduces DVSSIMA as a cultural house devoted to synesthetic experience, interior depth, and the revival of the salon as a space of listening, thought, and embodied beauty.

This inaugural gathering marks the beginning of an ongoing series devoted to music as architecture of the soul.

The evening will take place in an exclusive Manhattan residence and will include both a concert and post-performance salon gathering. Attendance is curated to preserve intimacy, dialogue, and presence.
