CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia — The Barnard College freshman who was knifed to death in Manhattan’s Morningside Park on Wednesday was scheduled to play two rock shows at venues in her native Charlottesville, Virginia, during winter break, a club manager told The Post.

Tessa Majors, 18, was well known in the music scene in the small Virginia city and had played a few shows at The Southern Cafe and Music Hall, said the venue’s assistant manager, Jeyon Falsini.

“This whole town knew her. It’s a small community,” Falsini said.

“She had bleached blonde hair. She had a great look — a rocker, wore fishnet stockings, plaid skirt, chunky shoes. She looked like a punk rocker.”

Majors was scheduled to open for another band with her group Patient 0 on Jan. 12 at the venue. She had another show at a diner called Holly’s with another group called Harli and the House of Jupiter.

“She was amazing, a great performer. For someone so young, she had a commanding presence,” Falsini said.

“I’ve said it before but you could tell she was going to go places. And if you stuck with her, it was going to be a part of the story,” he added.

Majors was stabbed to death in Morningside Park on Wednesday by a group of men who had tried to rob her, police sources said.

She was discovered by a school security guard near West 116th Street and Morningside Drive around 5:30 p.m., according to the sources.

She had been beaten and stabbed by a group of three or four men at the base of a staircase.

In Charlottesville, Falsini had hung up photos of famous musicians who have performed at the club on a red wall in the venue.

He intends to hang up Majors’ photo next to the stars’.

“She could have been the next generation of rockers. At such a young age no doubt — she would put the town on the map again, like Liz Phair,” he said.
