Join us for a heartfelt evening of music, memory, and community as the Silent Film Society of Chicago hosts a tribute to Dennis Wolkowicz—beloved silent film accompanist known to many as Jay Warren—on Thursday, April 24th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at La Dolce Vita Cucina, located at 5007 W Irving Park Road.Dennis was more than a musician—he was a storyteller whose piano brought the magic of silent film to life for audiences across Chicago and beyond. His sudden passing in February 2025 left a profound absence in our cultural community. This special event will celebrate his legacy with fellowship, light fare, and film.
Tickets are just $35 and include an open bar and appetizers. Guests will enjoy a casual, welcoming atmosphere with brief remarks, a tribute video, and an opportunity to raise a glass in Dennis’s memory. All proceeds support the Silent Film Society of Chicago and help ensure that Dennis’s love for early cinema continues to inspire future generations.
Whether you knew Dennis personally or admired his artistry from the audience, we invite you to be part of this meaningful evening.
Reserve your ticket today and join us in honoring a true Chicago.
