On a crisp evening in New York City, The Agency and CSQ Magazine hosted an unforgettable event at the Symphony Townhouse, the magnificent residence located at 163 East 64th Street. Listed at $15,995,000 and represented by John Antretter, Michael Biryla, and Gabriella Michin, this storied property served as the perfect backdrop for an exclusive gathering of Founders, CEOs, and investors—members of R360, a private network that requires a minimum net worth of $100 million to join.
The event offered an extraordinary opportunity for like-minded visionaries to connect while immersed in a spectacular setting. Guests were treated to a sophisticated evening featuring passed hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails courtesy of The Gardener Gin and Martingale Cognac, and private tours of the exquisite townhouse. The highlight of the evening? The signature cocktail, aptly named “The Symphony Spritz,” paying homage to the home’s rich musical legacy.
Adding to the ambiance, acclaimed pianist Yasuhiko “Yaz” Fukuoka filled the air with classical melodies, perfectly complementing the home’s unparalleled acoustics—a nod to its illustrious musical history.
A Home Built for Legends
Symphony Townhouse boasts a storied past, having hosted some of the most iconic figures in entertainment and beyond. At the heart of the home is a $650,000 grand piano, hand-selected by renowned music director Billy Tail, with acoustics fine-tuned for live performances and recordings. Broadway icon Betty Buckley has graced these rooms with her talents, and Vincent Falcone, Frank Sinatra’s music director, frequented the property to tune the grand piano still featured today.
Over the years, the townhouse has witnessed countless remarkable moments, including the engagement party of Liza Minnelli and Peter Allen, Bob Hope’s birthday celebration, and intimate gatherings with New York City mayors and Wall Street elites.
An Entertainer’s Dream
As attendees mingled under the sparkling chandeliers and marveled at the townhouse’s impeccable craftsmanship, it was clear this property is much more than a home—it’s a piece of history, a celebration of art and culture, and an entertainer’s paradise.
