The Long Island-based Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival has shortened its name to Bridgehampton Chamber Music. The organization began as a summer festival 37 years ago and in the past decade has expanded to include a spring season and a record label. Flutist Marya Martin is artistic director of the organization, whose next events will be three chamber concerts in March, April, and May at Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church; the first, on March 21 will feature actor Alan Alda as narrator, reading Mozart’s letters, interspersed with music for flute, piano, and strings. Bridgehampton Chamber Music’s 2020 summer festival season will take place in July and August, with details to be announced in May. The group’s record label was launched in 2012; it has released twelve recordings that include music by Bruce Adolphe, Robert Beaser, Leon Kirchner, Howard Shore, Paul Moravec, Kevin Puts, and Elizabeth Brown, as well as Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, and others. The spring series was introduced in 2015.
