What Love Knows Death is a Valentine’s salon devoted not to innocence, but to initiation.

This evening explores love after it has encountered loss, finitude, and transformation. Through operatic arias and original compositions, the program traces the moment when desire continues to breathe, yet mortality is no longer absent from the room.

Here, Eros is not extinguished by Thanatos, nor does death silence love. Instead, the two exist in tension: passion under witness, beauty tempered by awareness, intimacy shaped by consequence. The music inhabits this charged threshold, where longing deepens rather than dissolves, and where love learns gravity without surrendering radiance.

Performed by Dr. Stephanie Susberich, with Brenda Quattrini at the piano, the salon invites listeners into a contemplative space where devotion, rupture, memory, and endurance coexist.

The evening will unfold in an exclusive Manhattan residence and will include both a concert and salon gathering. Guests are received by invitation and curated registration to preserve the integrity of the experience.

Tickets and additional details will be announced soon.
