The Church is delighted to announce the return of Sag Harbor Song Festival – the annual, beloved autumnal celebration of vocal performance, now in its fourth year!
The six opera masters who will make up the roster of Sag Harbor Song Festival 2025 on the third weekend in September are: Amber Norelai, Susanna Phillips, Cecelia Hall, David Portillo, Darren Lekeith Drone, and Le Bu.
Each singer is a musician of great talent and accomplishment. Together, they will present a program of opera, musical theater, songs, and lieder in three concerts on successive days in late September.
The 2025 event — which follows immensely successful Sag Harbor Song Festivals in 2022, 2023, and 2024 — will again be led by two extraordinary directors: Artistic Director Brad Woolbright and Music Director Robert Tweten. Details of the individual concert programming will be available in July.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, July 11 at 12 PM

Welcome back Albino Mbie! Brining his much-loved musicianship, storytelling, and vibrancy, Mbie returns to The Church as part of The Churchennial Exhibition Programming. “Coming to perform at The Church always feels a bit like coming home,” says the Mozambican guitarist.
Mbie welcomes audiences back for another unforgettable evening as he presents a captivating solo performance that intertwines his personal journey with the rich cultural elements of his Mozambican heritage. The concert showcases a collection of original compositions that reflect his ongoing quest for belonging and identity through music.
A celebration of original works that resonate with the rhythm of home and the essence of community, Mbie’s music connects deeply with audiences from all backgrounds. His presentation in Italy, Mozambique, and Boston have been met with positive acclaim. His adept storytelling provides context and emotional depth, transforming each concert into an immersive experience. Join us for an intimate performance with a seasoned performer.
The Church is thrilled to welcome back collaborating partner Reflections in Music for an inspiring evening meant to honor music’s enduring power to affirm the human spirit. Led by artistic director Bruce Wolosoff, Reflections in Music presents Unsilenced Voices—a program of chamber music by composers who created works of courage and humanity in the face of oppression. The program features music by Shostakovich, Poulenc, Kabalevsky, Bartók, and Tigran Mansurian, alongside the world premiere of a new work by Wolosoff. Wolosoff is joined by the esteemed musicians Narek Arutyunian (clarinet), Deborah Buck (violin), and Raman Ramakrishnan (cello).
This program has been generously supported by the SHS Foundation, in honor of its treasurer, Sara Throne.
Welcome back Johnnie Cruise Mercer! Join us for a moving evening as Mercer presents his one act dance theater work, Mercies of a Butterfly. A movement allegory on “weathering the storm,” the work follows a recently born spirit as they contend with weight, build strength to run, and eventually learn how to fly! With Mercer’s Black movement history at the center of the work’s structure, the dancer/choreographer/director publicly leans into his epic memory in order to share the goodness of letting go.
The solo performance involves close collaboration alongside a creative team of long-time collaborators and peers including music producer Young Denzel, film/video artist Torian Ugworji, horn player Robert McSweeney, drummer Jean Charlot, and fashion designer Pierre Rashad.
This performance has been programmed as part of our Fall Exhibition, Here & There: The First Churchennial. More information can be found by visiting our exhibition page here.
