A Cappella Times Two

Two free a cappella performances will take place this weekend at the Montauk Library. Tomorrow evening at 7:30, the Chickpeas, a quintet consisting of Liz Sarfati, Marcia Previti, Lisa Shaw, Deb Coen, and Jane Hastay, will perform a program of traditional and popular songs by composers ranging from Harold Arlen to Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne to Bob Dylan. 

The next night, the Bulgarian Voices Trio will offer a program of folk songs, sung in Bulgarian with a discussion in English, also at 7:30. The trio — Vlada Tomova, Valentina Kvasova, and Shelley Thomas — combines traditional Bulgarian village styles with a cappella arrangements that reveal “the disarming power and intimacy of the unaccompanied voice,” according to a release. The group has performed at Lincoln Center and Joe’s Pub in Manhattan and at festivals here and abroad.
