Music in Montauk
The Montauk Library will be a virtual concert hall during the coming week, with three music programs, each with a different point of view. On Saturday evening at 7:30, Alexander Wu and the Serendip Piano Trio will present “A JFK Centennial, Return to Camelot: Music From the Kennedy White House Concerts, 1961-1963.” The program will include compositions by Mendelssohn, Copland, Gershwin, Casals, Chopin, Brubeck, Bernstein, and others.
On Sunday afternoon at 3, Ellen Johansen and Marlene Markard will present “Piano Works for Four Hands.” Both women operate eponymous music studios that offer private and group piano lessons and early childhood classes as part of the Musikgarten curriculum. They will perform works by Beethoven, Schubert, Corigliano, and Fauré.
The pace will change Wednesday evening at 7:30 when the Pat DeRosa Ensemble will perform a program of jazz and dance band standards. The set list will include “You Stepped Out of a Dream,” “Embraceable You,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “As Time Goes By,” and other classics. The ensemble consists of Pat DeRosa, saxophone, Patricia DeRosa Padden, piano and vocals, Nicole DeRosa Padden, flute and vocals, and Bob Beck on drums.
All three programs are free and open to the public.
