The Orfeo Duo - What a Neighborhood!

What a Neighborhood! What a Neighborhood! presents warm, intimate, exciting performances that
celebrate Manhattanville, Morningside Heights, & the Manhattan Valley primarily through the music of living local composers. We founded the series in 2003 to encourage and inspire composers and draw neighbors together, helping to nurture a strong community that includes all the diversity of our area.

We would love to get to know you. Please call us at 212-222-2101, or email us at orfeoduo@gmail.com, or better yet, introduce yourself at one of our events. See below for details.

Let us know of any composers of any age who might not yet be listed on our map of over 200 neighborhood composers! Bring your friends and family! Meet your neighbors!
