The Choral Society of the Hamptons will perform “Mozart in Salzburg,” a concert of his early works composed in that Austrian city, on Saturday at 5 and 7:30 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church.
While Mozart is best known for his symphonies, concertos, and operas, especially those written in Vienna, the music he composed in Salzburg, while bound by restrictions set by his employer, the Archbishop of Salzburg, highlights his innovative choral music.
Led by Mark Mangini, the society’s conductor and music director, the concert will showcase three of Mozart’s early works, “Vesperae Solennes de Confessore (Solemn Vespers of the Confessor),” K. 339, “Regina Coeli,” K. 276, and “Veni Sancte Spiritus,” K. 47. These pieces will feature quartets of chorus members, as well as Chelsea Shephard as soprano soloist.
Ms. Shephard will also perform two Mozart concert arias, “Voi avete un cor fedele,” K. 217, and “Alma grande e nobil core,” K. 578. The chorus will be joined by the South Fork Chamber Orchestra performing Mozart’s Divertimento for Strings, K. 138.
Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, youth tickets are $10 and $15, and preferred seating is available for $75. Tickets can be purchased on the choral society’s website or at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.
The choral society is an auditioned chorus that performs with professional conductors, orchestras, accompanists,
