This recital is a benefit to preserve historic Freetown of East Hampton and one of its almost 200-year-old building

Background: Freetown, East Hampton. In 1799, with New York State’s Emancipation Act, Lion Gardiner created Freetown, East Hampton, for him and his associates who formerly owned enslaved persons.

—————————-

The recital will feature and delve into the classical music of the Romantic period (1800-1900) by composers Richard Strauss, Johannes Brahms, and the enslaved Blind Tom Wiggins. This music was created during Freetown’s historical beginnings from 1799 through the late 1800s, providing a unique educational opportunity for all attendees.

Donations of $3000.00 or more receive a special gift.
