Description

Join us for an elegant evening celebrating music, artistry, and cultural excellence at the Steinway Piano Gallery Beverly Hills, located at 8801 Wilshire Boulevard. Situated along one of Los Angeles’ most iconic and historically significant corridors, Wilshire Boulevard serves as a major cultural and commercial artery connecting Beverly Hills with the broader city. Today, the Steinway Piano Gallery stands as one of the premier Steinway-owned showrooms in Southern California, offering a refined and intimate setting that reflects both the craftsmanship of its instruments and the artistic heritage of its surroundings. Set within this distinguished environment, the evening marks the album release of acclaimed composer Lefteris Carvelas, whose work has been performed internationally, including with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Presented in partnership with Tractatus Productions and curated in collaboration with the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce’s F.A.M.E. Committee (Fashion, Art, Music, Entertainment), the evening reflects Beverly Hills’ role as a global hub for artistic expression and cultural innovation.
