Stephen Wise Free Synagogue is located in the perfect neighborhood for music, only a few blocks away from Manhattan's Lincoln Center. 68th Street is relatively quiet, and the size of the sanctuary, social hall, and other rooms in the building may be ideal for your upcoming recital, rehearsal, or recording.

Since 2007, when SWFS officially became a Bosendorfer venue by acquiring a new Bosendorfer Imperial, one of the largest and finest hand-made pianos in the world, many musicians have been drawn to the space.  In 2008, we completed a sanctuary renovation with modular seating that allows us to host large symphony orchestras and choruses with a variety of arrangements.

Our sanctuary boasts the Bosendorfer Imperial, a fully digital audio recording facility, HD video recording and live audio and video streaming equipment, a PA system, and a flexible and large but intimate space. Our social hall has a semi-concert grand piano and a theatrical stage with flexible area for open seating and/or tables in the hall. A smaller adjacent room has a baby grand appropriate for small gatherings or receptions. The building also includes smaller rooms with either an upright or electric pianos for private rehearsal space.

We look forward to hearing from you.
