In Memoriam: Mark Gatz
It is with very heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of Mark Gatz, one of our long-time faculty members here at East End Arts. Mark passed away on Friday, July 31, 2015. Mark was a faculty member here at our EEA School teaching woodwinds since 1996, after being on the EEA Board of Directors. Over the years through his career as a professional musician, Mark performed with Billy Joel, Van Morrison, Tito Puente and others. He appeared on NBC's "Law and Order". He also performed under the direction of Julie Andrews and recorded music for bassist Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon) as well as compositions for his own recordings. We are very sad to say goodbye to our good friend, wonderful teacher and talented musician.

Barbara Bilotta & Anna Franklin present
"To Each Her Own"
Opening Reception
4 - 7 PM
At Ashawagh Hall, East Hampton
Barbara Bilotta and Anna Franklin are both members of The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton and share many other art affiliations together as well as a friendship and a respect for each other artistic vision. Being fundamentally different in art, Barbara is an abstract expressionist and Anna, although eclectic, basically a landscaper, they decided to come together in this 2-woman show at Ashawagh, titled, correctly, "To each her own". This exhibition will showcase an in-depth display of their artistic talent. They are both talented artists selected in many juried and invitation-only shows with extensive experience in exhibiting all over the East End, New York City, state, and out of state. They are looking forward to seeing friends and patrons on their reception night which will provide generous food and wine as well as the music of a roving violist! Exhibition dates are September 2 - 4, 2015. Gallery hours are 12 - 7 PM.
Ashawagh Hall, 780 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton NY

WSHU Public Radio launches a new station for Long Island listeners! 

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.
