Music in Southampton
Classical piano, opera, and folk are the musical offerings this week at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton. On Sunday at 3 p.m., Misuzu Tanaka, a prizewinning concert pianist, will perform a program of works from the height of the Romantic period to the early 20th century, including Chopin’s Scherzo No. 4 in E major, Op. 54, Bartok’s Scherzo no. 4 in E major, and Schumann’s Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 14, originally titled “Concerto sans Orchestre.” A reception for the artist will follow.
Opera of the Hamptons and the Friends of the Rogers Memorial Library will present their annual lunchtime opera program on Wednesday at noon. This year’s selection is “Porgy and Bess,” with Richard Hobson, baritone, Robert Wilson, music director, and Barbara Giancola, artistic director.
Fans of folk music can attend a sing-along in memory of Pete and Toshi Seeger today at 6 p.m. All three programs are free.
