The Messiah University Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, currently touring churches and high schools in the Northeast, will stop Friday at the First Presbyterian Church of Southampton for an evening of uplifting chamber music starting at 7.

The group consists of 48 elite singers who study and perform under the direction of Joy Meade at the private Christian school in central Pennsylvania.

For the program, titled "I Love to Tell the Story," the selections "span the centuries to share stories of faith, from Renaissance motets to newly composed pieces by Messiah University faculty, arrangements of beloved spirituals and hymns, ancient prayer texts, and musical reflections on current events," the group said in an announcement.

Admission to the concert is free.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
