'Under Paris Skies:' BHHS Parlor Series

Rebecca Dorsey, one of the musicians who will be performing at the Bridgehampton Historical Society's Parlor Series. (BHHS)

Bridgehampton - Bridgehampton Historical Society's second "Parlor Series" event will showcase jazzy Parisian bistro tunes performed by musicians Rebecca Dorsey (chanteuse), Stephanie Mocilan (violinist), Peter Weiss (bass) and Jane Hastay (pianist). This is the fourth time this jazz program will be presented on Long Island and raves have ensued. Don't miss this event! It is sure to be sold out with standing room only. To be held on Saturday, January 29.

Dorsey, a favorite on the fund-raising and celebrity circuit, was a featured performer during the Hilary Clinton campaign. She has also opened for Tony Bennett and Freddie Cole. Hastay has produced many concerts and is currently the director of music and organist at St. Therese of Lisieux Church in Montauk. In addition to her freelancing as a pianist/vocalist she frequently acts as musical director in cabaret shows and theatrical productions including Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" at the Southampton Cultural Center. Bassist Weiss was a long time member of the Etta Jones/Houston Person Quintet and has recorded on over 40 CDs as well as performing for the Broadway shows "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Phantom of the Opera." Violinist Mocilan has performed for Queen Elizabeth and U.S. Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush, Sr.

This year's Parlor Series is being held at the BHHS "Archives" location. Commonly referred to as "the Marder's Barn," it's next door to the Nathaniel Rogers House which is under restoration. All concerts begin at 2 p.m. Admission is $5 for members, $10 for non-members, and can be paid at the door. Children are always welcome; children under 12 are free.
