Between June 27 through July 4, the Oyster Bay Music Festival will present 12 completely different concert programs in 9 charming venues along the Gold Coast of Long Island. Each OBMF concert is a variety show featuring a diverse range of musical repertoire from a performing cast of around 25 musicians – including vocalists, pianists, strings and wind players. The talent pool includes world-class musicians with international reputations, and local classical music stars. Every performance exudes both professionalism and joy, telling a story uplifted by a genuine love for music felt by everyone in the room.
Thursday, June 27 7-9pm – The Romantics: Musical Drama for the Ages at Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock
OBMF presents a concert filled with musical drama and unbridled passion of the Romantic Era – with a few hints of a new modern sound to come. The varied program includes Glinka’s emotional Trio Pathétique for bassoon, clarinet, and piano; dramatic opera arias from the popular OBMF Singers; music by Brahms, Schumann, and Fanny Mendelssohn; the Dutilleux Flute Sonatine; and Kreisler’s Tambourin Chinois played on the erhu.
