The East End’s cultural calendar just gained its most melodious highlight. Hamptons Summer Songbook by the Sea, the acclaimed concert series produced by Donna Rubin and Josh Gladstone, returns to LTV Studios in East Hampton for Summer 2025 with a star-studded lineup and a theatrical edge that rivals the Great White Way.
Backed by state-of-the-art lighting and acoustics, the series transforms LTV’s industrial television studio into a high-style cabaret lounge complete with modular staging, café seating, and the timeless elegance of a Baby Grand piano. It’s a marriage of artistry and atmosphere that invites audiences into the music—up close, personal, and pitch-perfect.
This year’s schedule promises an eclectic mix of legendary voices, storytelling powerhouses, and crowd-favorite revues. Every evening offers a different chapter of the Great American Songbook—reimagined, reinterpreted, and delivered with vocal firepower.
