We celebrate George’s 87th Birthday. Happy Birthday George!

George Bartenieff performs an extempore monologue at the end of his Birthday Celebration. Watch it! Before that, there were extraordinary performances by Kathleen Chalfant, excerpts from T.S. Eliot's The Four Quartets, George Bartenieff performing Rilke, Victor Klemerper and Karen Malpede excerpts, Penny Arcade in a wonderful Arcadian rant on art, Stephan Said's songs. Toasts from Alexander Barteneff to his father and John Malpede. A memorable celebration of courage, persistence, joyous resistance, and decades of enduring art and love.
