New Choral Society Director

The Choral Society of the Hamptons has named a new administrative director, Elizabeth Zung, who has extensive experience recruiting and managing volunteer groups for fund-raising events for nonprofit organizations. She succeeds David Brandenburg, who has held the position for four years.

Most recently, Ms. Zung was the volunteer vice president of community events and a member of the PTA executive board at her children’s public school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where she organized street festivals that drew more than 400 people a day.

She previously developed leadership skills in finance, customer service, and employee relations while serving in management roles at banks in Minnesota and Westchester County. She also holds a New York State life insurance license.

Her work for the choral society will begin with arrangements for the group’s upcoming summer performances of the Brahms Requiem in collaboration with the Greenwich Village Chamber Singers, to be performed in Manhattan on June 24 and at Parish Hall, Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on July 8.

A frequent weekend visitor to the South Fork, Ms. Zung, her husband, and their children will soon become full-time Amagansett residents. A former choral singer, she will work closely with the society’s music director, Mark Mangini.
