Sasha & Shawna at The Box

On March 22nd, the most exclusive and talked about venue in New York City welcomed the angelic operatic duo Sasha & Shawna. The Box, which is owned and operated by Simon Hammerstein, the grandson of Oscar Hammerstein, has been packed with international A-listers since its opening last year. The space's gaudy chandeliers, velvet drapes and mismatched wallpaper make visitors feel as if they have stepped into the world of Oscar Wilde.



The setting was perfect for the intimate performance, showcasing the talents of the modelesque singers who were recently featured in the nationwide PBS special "Heavenly Voices." Sasha & Shawna's repertoire featured selections from their new album "Siren," including operatic classics as well as renditions of such modern hits as "Fields of Gold" by Sting.



The Box was packed with industry insiders, tastemakers, and celebrities including hip hop legend Andre Harrell, former VH1 CEO Ed Bennett, American Idol's Constantine Maroulis, and castmembers from the VH1 reality show "The Agency."

Those who were lucky enough to attend this amazing event got a sneak peak at two talented performers who are already creating a stir in the tastemaker community.
