Playhouse Project founders, Mirra Bank and Richard Brockman present the 4th Annual Playhouse Project Benefit Concert on Saturday, June 14th at 6:00pm at The Playhouse, located at 64 Huntting Lane in the village of East Hampton. Featured artists include the extraordinary American pianist, Awadagin Pratt, and acclaimed Croatian guitarist, Robert Belinić. The concert takes place in and around the grounds of the majestic Playhouse, one of the architectural gems of East Hampton. The evening is offered in association with Swiss Global Artistic Foundation Founder and President, Heather deHaes, and Artistic Director and internationally renowned conductor, Geoffrey Simon.
This unique evening of classical music brings together two great virtuosos, Awadagin Pratt, acclaimed for his amazing musical insight and performance range, and Robert Belenić, described by the New York Concert Review as possessing "the most intense passion, energy and charisma of any guitarist I have heard." The evening will also include performances by the three winning students of the 2008 Elizabeth Brockman Awards in Classical Music: for Excellence: Julia Pucci, for Promise: Luis Murillo, and for Composition: Nell Shaw Cohen. During the award ceremony, several merit awards will also be made, including a voice class with noted mezzo-soprano Barbara Conrad awarded to Holly Goldstein, and honorable mentions to Kyle Lamprecht, Davis King, and Cedric Hubert.
Proceeds from the event are used to support, develop, and implement performing arts programs that are designed exclusively for the benefit of South Fork students.
A buffet reception with the artists follows the performance. Tickets are $90.00 per person.
