NEW YORK CITY
Book Three Presentation Dinner and Gallery
November 2015
On Thursday November 19th, The Manifesto held a dinner party for an intimate gathering of 60 music industry guests at The Fuller Building on Madison Ave in New York City.
Beatrice Hurst and Michelle Sullivan, together with host Rob Stevenson from Republic Records, welcomed guests to the launch of Book Three and portrait gallery exhibition.
Book Three is inspired by reflections of wisdom. The central story consists of a portrait series of 50 individuals who have made diverse contributions to the music business, and have therefore touched our culture. The series includes the work of Aaron Gaiger, Alex Franco, Andrew Urban, Damian Weilers, Dave Imms, Georgie Clarke, Isaac Rosenthal, Jason Barbagelott, Nerissa Nortje, Peter Plozza, Peter Thompson, Phil Knott, Robert Nethery and Stefano Galli.
Attending guests were treated to a 4 course menu designed and prepared by London culinary duo Terry Edwards and George Craig; served by wait staff who wore crisp white t-shirts and black trousers by Everlane.
Music for the evening was curated by the legendary Don Was, and played through a beautiful Naim Mu-So wireless music system. Guests enjoyed candles by LE LABO in Cedre 11, hand poured specially for The Manifesto.
