Housewives’ Cantata Brings Cabaret to Montauk
The Montauk Library will host “The Housewives’ Cantata Reboot,” a free cabaret featuring music by the celebrated composer Mira J. Spektor, on Wednesday evening at 7. The original “Housewives’ Cantata” was created in 1974 by Ms. Spektor, who is also a lyricist and poet, and the late June Siegel, a lyricist. The new version celebrates four decades of momentum toward equal rights for women with the addition of seven songs from Ms. Spektor’s more recent productions.
The concert will feature Karen Jolicoeur, soprano, Lars Woodull, baritone, Bill Lewis, pianist-director, and Ms. Spektor. Additional lyricists whose work is represented are Charline Spektor, Colette Inez, Carolyn Balducci, and Caroline Crippen.
This article has been changed online from the print version to correct the spelling of Mr. Woodull's name and to clarify that all the music was composed by Ms. Spektor.
