ArtRemsenburg presents DAYLIGHT & DARKNESS

Paintings by Peter Beston

At the Remsenburg Academy

Exhibition open hours are Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays 3:00 - 7:00 PM. Peter Beston studied art at Croydon College of Art and Hampstead School of Art in London, and at West Dean College in Sussex, England. For many years he worked as an award-winning film editor, cutting features, documentaries, and commercials. Having settled on the East End, he now paints full-time. His work utilizes intensity of color and precise composition to lead the observer towards new insights into the familiar. The paintings in this exhibition explore the relationships and intersections between the natural and man-made worlds, and how darkness and light can mask or reveal forms and ideas that arise out of this process.

WSHU Public Radio is thrilled to announce the launch of 107.5 FM, an all-classical music station for Eastern Long Island listeners. The signal replaces 103.3 FM and can be heard from Riverhead to Montauk, and from Mattituck to Shelter Island. A hallmark of WSHU's classical music programming is the extensive knowledge of our on-air hosts. Wading River resident Lauren Rico, host of Afternoon Classical, is a former French horn player who is inspired by WSHU's passionate, committed listeners. Kate Remington, WSHU's Music Director and host of Morning Classical, received a degree in piano performance and mass communication from the University of Wisconsin. Before joining WSHU, she honed her considerable skills as a music announcer at Wisconsin Public Radio, the Beethoven Satellite Network, and Vermont Public Radio. So tune in for favorites by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and their colleagues, along with selections that are off the beaten path, and new releases and composers! To those listeners who love our NPR News and Talk format ... don't worry! You can still tune in to WSHU's 89.9 FM frequency for quality public radio programs.
