Pianist Joanne Polk, best known for her performances and recordings of the music of Amy Beach, has recorded a two-CD set of the solo piano music of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, to be released on the Newport Classic label.

Fanny - the sister of composer Felix Mendelssohn, whose work he sometimes claimed as his own - was actively discouraged by her family to practice her art as it was viewed as an unseemly activity for a woman of her class.

The evening will include the CD release party, a sampling of music, and an introductory talk by Victoria Sirota, author of The Life and Works of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel.

Reservations are must, cover charge is $10 plus a one drink minimum. For reservations call 212-989-9319 or visit http://www.corneliastreetcafe.com.

The Cornelia Street Cafe is located at 29 Cornelia Street between West 4th and Bleecker Sts, Greenwich Village, NYC, New York. Take the 1 Subway to Sheridan Square; A, C, E, B, D, V, F to West 4th St.
