Mission
Our mission is
to support the work of Lenore Von Stein and Company in their
efforts to create music and art that
stretches the possibilities of expression
and encourages creative thinking
History
1687, Inc. was organized by a group of artists and business people in 1994 to access resources for live and recorded performances by Lenore Von Stein and Company. The changes in our work, for example our current concentration on mass media in conjunction with refining our exploration of ideas/themes and expanding our palette, e.g. use of multiple disciplines and media demonstrate 1687’s ability to evolve to meet artistic and logistical needs.
In our first two years of operations, 1994-1996 we presented a core free jazz trio.
From 1996 - 2003 we added group shows tied together by a theme, often with a political perspective. These group shows also expanded our pool of musicians and composers, and included those working primarily in modern art music, western opera, classical, electronic, and blue grass music. We also used chance elements, visual artists and more detailed themes.
Starting with a post 9/11 series of concerts, The Festival of Secrets for the Victims of
Violence 2001, we added conversations between scholars.
From 2003 - 2008 we focused on developing new pe
rformance pieces and techniques using a core ensemble of players from a range of musical disciplines.Improvised elements were used as bridges between composed elements and to increase the immediacy, vibrancy of the music. Composed music was used to feed the ears of the improvisers and to anchor the entire evening.
Stories were used to help the audience accept the modern music – to endow it with relevance in terms of every day reference points. 
During this period 1687 became a creative laboratory independent of a performance schedule.
In 2009 we began development of a series of art music and discussion programs for cable TV and web The Facts. Since late 2010 half-hour episodes of The Facts have been broadcast Thursday evenings in New York City on three cable networks and also distributed on the web. The music is both composed and improvised and played by an ensemble of classical and jazz musicians. This expressive music is interlaced with stories.
Personnel:
CORE ENSEMBLE
Lenore Von Stein – Artistic/Executive Director, Composer, Musician, 1687 core group
Lenore Von Stein has worked with be-bop, free jazz, classical, and electronic musicians and composers and uses techniques from these musical disciplines as well as methods and approaches developed in classical and modern theatre. Von Stein’s works are made of improvised and composed music and stories. They have also included visual art, dance, and scholarly discourse.
Von Stein began her artistic work as an actor/playwright doing non-musical scripted and improvised live performances and films before shifting her focus to the performance and composition of music. Von Stein’s non-musical theater credits include originating the role in Samuel Beckett's one-person piece The Expelled. Her work in music has followed a similar pattern of developing from performer to composer/performer.
Von Stein’s works examine the structure of reality and ideas and are presented in live and/or recorded performances. Each performance is unique in terms of its particular slant and/or story, and some or all of the music. Lenore calls them “living paintings” because each performance is a complete drawing that is, in part, created in performance. In 2009, 1687’s core group of musicians and a TV crew began taping a series of half-hour TV programs “The Facts” for Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), NYC. The Facts presents these “living painting” once a month on MNN.

Marcus' music has been consistently praised for its beauty and rare sensitivity. Kyle Gann of the Village Voice has called her one of his favorite female composers of all time. He applauds her piano work Julia for its "touching and unassuming depth," which "had the audience hushed under the impact of deeply communicated feeling."

Bunita met Morton Feldman in 1976, beginning a long association that lasted until his death in 1987. For seven years they were inseparable. Feldman and Marcus composed side by side, sharing musical thoughts and ideas. In 1985 Feldman dedicated to her his new piano composition: "For Bunita Marcus."
