When the HIV/AIDS epidemic swept through New York, and indeed the world, in the early 1980s, and entire community of local artists and countless friends of Mimi-Stern Wolfe were lost. After these deaths, Mimi devoted her life to an annual concert of works by her fallen friends, all composers, rehearsed and performed in the midst of bustling Manhattan.

Amongst the original occupants of a New York artist housing project known as Westbeth, modern dancers Edith Stephen and Dudley Williams recall their glory days training and performing with the likes of Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Alvin Ailey.
