Two programs of classical masterworks and a festive concert of Baroque music to celebrate the holidays comprise BCM Autumn, Bridgehampton Chamber Music’s fall series. The three Saturday concerts occur in the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church, the home of Long Island’s longest-running classical music festival.
On October 26, internationally acclaimed pianist and BCM favorite Gilles Vonsattel will perform two of Beethoven’s most beloved sonatas, “Moonlight” and “Pathétique.”
On November 16, pianist Gloria Chien, violinist Soovin Kim, and cellist Paul Watkins, singular artists who have all appeared on the BCM stage separately, come together as an all-star ensemble performing piano trios by Schumann and Ravel.
December 7 brings “Baroque Bounty,” a program to mark the holidays for which BCM Artistic Director, flutist Marya Martin, will be joined by three young artists making their BCM debuts — flutist Brandon Patrick George (who studied with Martin at Manhattan School of Music), violinist Kevin Zhu, and cellist James Baik — as well as Michael Stephen Brown, whose compositions were prominently featured in BCM’s 2024 summer festival, on the harpsichord.
In the 40 years since its founding, Bridgehampton Chamber Music has become known for presenting a broad range of music performed by some of the best musicians in the world in one of the most beautiful seaside settings on the East Coast. With autumn and spring mini-series joining the summer festival, Bridgehampton Chamber Music now offers programs almost year-round.
Shows start at 5 PM. For more info, visit bcmf.org.
