Meet Gregory Singer.
You’ve never met anyone like him.

Gregory’s father, Jacques Singer, was a world renowned violinist who became one of the great orchestra conductors of the 20th Century, founder and music director of the Oregon Symphony. Gregory landed in New York City at the age of 15 at Juilliard as a prodigy on the violin. He and his twin sister Lori were the two of the youngest students ever admitted to Juilliard. Lori was a prodigy on the cello but was also an actress and model. She starred opposite Kevin Bacon in “Footloose” and also starred on the hit TV show “Fame” as a virtuoso cellist.

Gregory followed a more eclectic path. He went on international tour with rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He played for years in the orchestra pit for innumerable Broadway shows. He became a dealer in fine violins, including holding a Stradivarius in his Upper West Side apartment. He even took a stint away from music and spent some time as an auxiliary police officer for the NYPD. His love of music prompted him to tackle the impossible – he founded and became music director and conductor of his own symphony orchestra – The Manhattan Symphonie which, over the last decade, has played acclaimed concerts around the world, including 5 tours to China and sold out concerts at New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall.

Come join Maestro Gregory for a delightful and entertaining afternoon at the Southampton Cultural Center as he shares with us his passionate and even eccentric journey through music and through life. Appropriate for all ages, this event is not to be missed and will be long remembered.
