Six opera stars will be on the roster at the third annual Sag Harbor Song Festival presented in partnership with The Church in Sag Harbor this month.
The Sag Harbor Song Festival, under artistic director Brad Woolbright and music director Robert Tweten, who will accompany the singers on the piano, runs Friday through Sunday, September 20 to 22. Performers include Russian American soprano Erika Baikoff, soprano Lydia Grindatto, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey, tenor Duke Kim, baritone Justin Austin and bass William Guanbo Su.
Woolbright retired from The Santa Fe Opera in December 2020, after 43 years with the company, the last several serving as director of artistic administration. Tweten has performed extensively as both a pianist and conductor throughout the U.S. and his native Canada and is head of music staff for The Santa Fe Opera, and Music Director of Graduate Opera Studies for the New England Conservatory.
Concerts are at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, September 20 and 21, and at noon on Sunday, September 22. Concert tickets are $75 (or $200 for a festival pass for all three concerts). A full repertoire for all concerts can be found at sagharborsongfestival.org. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
