A Concert by Pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner at LongHouse Reserve

Gifted virtuoso pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner will perform an evening of enchanting music under the stars as guests sit in front of Buckminster Fuller’s “Fly’s Eye Dome” at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton on August 5. The evening celebrates the birthday of LongHouse’s late founder, Jack Lenor Larsen, who would have turned 96 years old. The 6 p.m. concert will be followed by a reception with the artist.

On the morning of his concert, at 11 a.m., Sanchez-Werner will host a workshop at LongHouse and give an inside look at his process and experience of the world through music. Come explore the colors and rhythms of music from around the world, including the celebratory and spirited dancing of Bernstein’s Mambo, the tender melodies of Carlos Chávez, the wild beasts of Stravinsky and more. Sanchez-Werner will teach in English and Spanish. He will improvise on stage, with help from the audience. Come with a free spirit, full heart, an open mind, and ready to make music in this immersive workshop!

At age 2, Sanchez-Werner learned to play the piano, by 3 he could read music, and at 14 was a full-time student at Juilliard, the school’s youngest graduate ever. He’s since performed all over the world for celebrities and dignitaries including President Barack Obama at The White House and President Joe Biden at his inaugural concert. He’s also played at Parrish Art Museum, Shelter Island Friend of Music and more.
