Alec Baldwin to Host July 15 Pianofest Concert

Alec Baldwin

Pianofest in the Hamptons is delighted to announce critically-acclaimed actor Alec Baldwin will host the July 15th Pianofest concert at Avram Theater, Southampton.

Baldwin brings his witty and poignant humor to Pianofest for one-night only, providing his commentary to the evening’s performances from multiple pianists. Concert program and artists will be announced the day of the performance.

The concert begins 5 PM, Monday, July 15 at Avram Theater - Stony Brook, 239 Montauk Highway, Southampton, NY. Admission is $20, and students 18 years old or younger are free. No reservations needed. Following the concert will be a reception to meet the pianists.

Baldwin is an actor, writer, and producer. He began acting on television in 1980, moving on to film and Broadway. From 2006 to 2013, Baldwin starred as Jack Donaghy on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, winning two Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards for this role. He also is best known for starring in numerous episodes of Saturday Night Live, impersonating Donald Trump. This role won him his third Primetime Emmy in 2017. He is the eldest of the four Baldwin brothers, all of whom are actors.

He is a well-known philanthropist, patron, and board member of the New York Philharmonic. In 2009, he became the host of The New York Philharmonic This Week, the nationally syndicated radio series of the orchestra.

Pianofest presents classical music concerts throughout the summer featuring highly-gifted pianists. Now in its 31st season, concerts occur in Southampton, East Hampton, and Westhampton.
