EDITOR’S PICK
Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival
August 10, 6 p.m.

For what would’ve been Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday, Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival (BCMF) pairs his iconic music with that of his great friend and mentor, Aaron Copland. Both were children of immigrants who went on to profoundly influence and shape American culture.

The superb baritone Nathan Gunn joins BCMF musicians to honor this milestone. The event begins on the beautiful grounds of the Channing Sculpture Garden for drinks and hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m., with the concert following at 7 p.m. Reserved seating $175. GA $125.
