It’s with great enthusiasm that we are announcing Rising Stars’ Petite Soirée Musicale on Saturday November 10 at 6 PM.

Keru Zhang, known by many Pianofest followers as well as Rising Stars’ audience will impress us with a formidable Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt, Jessica Fishenfeld, an opera singer and actor from NYC will delight us with “ I could have danced all night”, “Summertime” and a lovely aria by Rossini, Dr. Mike Errico will charm us with his own excerpts of West Side Story and our dear Konstantin Soukhovetski will end the program with two of his fabulous cabaret transcriptions of Broadway songs from his performances at the Southampton Inn’s Claude’s critically acclaimed residency this past summer.
We are lucky to have such a diverse musical line-up to compliment wine, bubbles, nibbles and a small auction. I promise you an evening to remember! At only $35 per person – this is the best Gala deal in all of New York! Call in your reservation now and tell all your friends to come and join our party!

Queen Esther Marrow’s amazing and varied career has taken her from the turbulent days of the Civil Rights Movement and touring with Dr. Martin Luther King, Duke Ellington, and Harry Belafonte, to appearances with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, BB King and many others, and on to television, film, Broadway and recording and finally her current super stardom throughout Europe.

An Evening of Cabaret with Marissa Mulder in “Tom…in his words, the songs of Tom Waits” (May 20)
/in Cabaret, Music /by Samantha HillmerThe Southampton Cultural Center is proud to announce An Evening of Cabaret with Marissa Mulder in “Tom…in his words, the songs of Tom Waits”
Syracuse native and New York City cabaret singer Marissa Mulder will showcase the music of singer-songwriter Tom Waits with “Tom … in His Words” Saturday, May 20 at 7 pm at the Levitas Center for the Arts.
Mulder explores some of Waits’ best-known songs, such as “Downtown Train” and “Ol’ 55,” as well as lesser-known treasures like “Broken Bicycles” and “Alice.” Waits — a 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee — has always operated on the fringes, blending strains of jazz and the blues, even vaudeville, into his rock ballads and scores.
The New York Times said ” far and away the season’s best cabaret show. It’s everything the genre can be but almost never is. ”
Prices: $ 25 general admission; $ 35 for ring side tables.
