Sag Harbor Song Festival Returns to The Church for a Second Year

After a successful inaugural festival in fall 2022, the Sag Harbor Song Festival will return to The Church next month. Sag Harbor Song Festival 2023 will feature three concerts at The Church on successive days from Friday, September, 22, to Sunday, September, 24. Six opera stars, each a musician of great talent and accomplishment, will present a program of opera, musical theater, songs and lieder.

Concerts will be presented on Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23, at 6:30 p.m., and Sunday, September 24, at noon. The 2023 festival will again be led by artistic director Brad Woolbright, who is working closely with music director Robert Tweten, and will also feature the highly regarded pianist, John Arida. This year’s singers include: Sopranos Alaysha Fox and Liv Redpath, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, tenor Jack Swanson, baritone Zachary Nelson, and bass-baritone Brandon Cedel.

The Sag Harbor Song Festival, the vision of East End resident Lena Kaplan, debuted in September 2022 in collaboration with The Church. Under the artistic helm of Woolbright, who served for 43 years at the Santa Fe Opera, the festival welcomes audiences into a unique and special “salon” setting of brilliant music in three performances on consecutive days.
