For Katy’s Courage
The eighth Classical Students for Katy’s Courage concert will take place on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. The benefit will feature classical music students from local schools and local residents home from college who come together to celebrate the life of Katy Stewart, a Sag Harbor resident who succumbed to liver cancer at the age of 12.
The program will include Mozart’s String Quartet in F Major, “The Hunt,” performed by the Southampton High School students Kivian King, Caleigh Kiembock, Sebastian Pereira, and Julia Kepcyznska; Saint Saens’s “Havanaise” by Benjamin Pereira of Southampton, who attends John Hopkins/Peabody Institute; Brahms’s Piano Trio, No. 1, Op. 8, by Christopher Beroes-Haigis of Sag Harbor, a student at Bard College, and Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2, by Matthew Maimone, a Juilliard student from Sag Harbor.
Other participating musicians are Christopher Ritter, Ariana Moustakas, and Justin Gardiner from Pierson High School and Luke Baron from the Springs School. Ellen Johansen, Jackson McKinnon, Joseph Hauer, and Aglaia Savalas Messina will accompany the performers.
The suggested $20 donation will benefit Katy’s Courage, which is dedicated to education, children’s bereavement support, and pediatric cancer research.
