———————————–

Please join us for a terrific evening with world-renowned classical musicians supporting a great cause. We are proud to also present 8-year-old Piano Prodigy, Gavin George among our master artists.
Southampton Arts Festival celebrating it’s third year, is an international classical music festival featuring today’s leading musicians and child prodigy students.
This year we are so honored to welcome two of the world’s most renowned musicians as our Honorary Artistic Advisors, pianist Evgeny Kissin and violinist/composer Mark O’Connor, who will be performing at our Hampton’s Summer Benefit.
In addition to presenting world class chamber music concerts, the Festival partners with Ohio Sate University research, conducted by professor Joanne Ruthsatz, who was recently featured on 60 minutes. Ruthsatz believes child prodigies may hold the key to understanding the cause of Autism and possibly provide a genetic modifier to help develop a cure. The research is largely based on data collected from young music prodigies.
