Hamptons Festival of the Arts Debuts at Parrish

The first annual Hamptons Festival of the Arts will launch on Saturday evening at 7 at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill with a recital in the galleries by the renowned soprano Renée Fleming and the singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright. A reception will follow the performance.

The festival, which will grow to include a wide range of performances and events including music, dance, theater, and the visual arts, was developed by the museum in partnership with IMG Artists, a performing arts management company, and the IFAC Handa Foundation, a Tokyo-based philanthropic institution. Advance reservations are required for the event, for which tickets cost $275, $250 for members.

The Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival will present two concerts at the Parrish inspired by its current exhibition, “Unfinished Business: Paintings From the 1970s and 1980s by Ross Bleckner, Eric Fischl, and David Salle,” on Monday at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.

The program will include Schubert’s Trio for Violin, Viola, and Cello, D. 471 (1816), a movement from an uncompleted work; Arvo Pärt’s “Fratres” for Violin and Piano (1977), which uses a single idea to create many works of the same name; Brown’s “Lost Waltz” for Flute and String Quartet (1997), which draws on a bygone style, and Harbison’s “November 19, 1828, Hallucination in Four Episodes” for Piano Quartet (1988), which pays homage to the death of Franz Schubert.

The musicians are Marya Martin, flute, Amy Schwartz and Alexander Sitkovetsky, violin, Cynthia Phelps, viola, Carter Brey, cello, and Orion Weiss, piano. Tickets cost $35, $30 for members, and advance reservations have been suggested.
