Judith Clurman will guest conduct The Choral Society of the Hamptons in “A Mozart Playlist: The Sacred, Secular, Scatological, & Sublime.”

The Choral Society will be joined by soloists soprano Amy Justman, mezzo-soprano Heather Jones, tenor Jason Weisinger, and baritone Joseph Beutel. Members of the South Fork Chamber Orchestra will accompany the chorus, along with pianist/organist Jack Coen.

The program includes “Kyrie in F Major” K. 33; “God Is Our Refuge” K. 20 and “Hosanna” K. 223; Mozart’s first Missa Brevis; the “Missa Brevis in G Major” K 49; “Ave Verum Corpus” K. 618; and two works that he wrote for his Masonic lodge for tenor soloist and male voices “Zerfließet heut’, geliebte Brüder” K. 483; “Ihr unsre neuen Leiter” K. 484; “O du eselhafter Martin” K. 560b; “Difficile lectu mihi mars” K. 559; “Bei Der Hitz im Sommer ess ich” K. App. IV/B (234); and “Bona nox! Bist a rechta Ox” K. 561.
