Baroque Concert
In association with the English Concert, a baroque orchestra based in London, and Juilliard’s historical-performance faculty, the English Concert in America fellowship program provides young performers opportunities to develop artistically through coaching sessions and master classes.
The English Concert in America Fellows will perform a concert of Baroque music on original string instruments at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, East Hampton, on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. In addition to the violin, viola, cello, and oboe, the instruments will include a theorbo, a plucked string instrument of the lute family that was used during the Baroque era.
The concert, which can be seen in person or online, includes compositions by Philippe Rameau, George Frideric Handel, Jean-Fery Rebel, Friedrich Fasch, and Benedetto Platti. In-person tickets are $20 each, virtual attendance is $10, and both are available on the church’s website.
Vocal Workshop
Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will offer “The Basics of Singing,” a six-part online workshop designed for new singers, starting Wednesday at 7 p.m. and continuing through May 12.
Amanda Jones, a music professional who specializes in vocal and piano instruction, will teach participants how to concentrate on their breathing, diction, and posture alignment, while discovering the right song choice. The cost is $150, $35 for individual sessions; registration is via the theater’s website.
Bay Street has also announced that Allen O’Reilly, its director of education and community outreach, appears in a new film, “The Enormity of Life,” a dark comedy set to be released on Tuesday. Directed by Eric Swinderman, the film stars Breckin Meyer and Emily Kinney. As for Mr. O’Reilly, “I play an obnoxious attorney who turns out to have a heart of gold.”
Mugs and Faces
Anton Kurt Krause, a theater artist living in Berlin and a Watermill Center alumnus, will lead “Why Do Mugs Have Faces,” a virtual workshop, on Saturday at 3 p.m. Open to ages 15 and up, the workshop will encourage participants to find and create characters from the beautiful things around them that are usually considered insignificant.
Mr. Krause, whose shows have been presented in Europe and South America, has been an assistant director at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg since the 2011-2012 season.
