A Benefit Concert in Amagansett
“Monteverdi and Bartok,” a benefit performance for the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station, will take place Friday evening at 7 at the historic structure on Atlantic Avenue in Amagansett. The performance will feature four singers, Deborah Carmichael, Kinga Cserjesi, Marisa Michelson, and Sara Serpa, all of whom practice the Libero Canto approach, a holistic method of singing and music-making that emphasizes freedom and authenticity.
Ms. Carmichael’s father, Joel Carmichael, purchased the station from the Town of East Hampton in 1966 and moved it to Bluff Road, where it became his family’s home. The structure was returned to its original location after the family donated it to the town in 2007.
The singers will be accompanied by Nikita Morozov and Yuri Namkung on violin, Valeriya Sholokhova on cello, and Danica Borisavljevic on piano. Six members of the Choral Society of the Hamptons will make a guest appearance. Admission is by a suggested donation of $25 at the door.
