Sunday at The Design Showhouse: Chamber Music in Port Washington

Music plays a big role in this year’s Design Showhouse, which features a series of performances at Palm Court in Hempstead House throughout November.

On Sunday, LIU Post Chamber Music Festival Alumni perform at 2:30 p.m. The ensemble features Xin Wei Wang on flute, Yuntiao Gao on piano and Zoë Vinegar on piano, bringing an afternoon of music of Claude Debussy, Bela Bartok, Frederic Chopin and more.

Sands Point Preserve’s annual Design Showhouse at Hempstead House highlights the lifestyle of the Guggenheims, with house tours, fashion shows, daily performances, presentations and more, from Nov. 1-30, 10 a.m-4 p.m. (closed Tuesdays and Thanksgiving).

The Palm Court Cafe is open from 11 a.m-2:30 p.m.

This year the Design Showhouse theme is Home of An American Renaissance Family, paying homage to the Guggenheim family’s extraordinary accomplishments in business, the arts, and philanthropy. Top designers have transformed the rooms inside the 1912 Tudor-style mansion into modern-day interpretations of the Guggenheim’s elegant Gold Coast lifestyle of the 1920s and 1930s.

Showhouse tickets are valid for the month of November – you are welcome to return as often as you wish to see the following programs. Be sure to check our calendar for daily performances and presentations.

Showhouse hours – 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed Tuesdays and Thanksgiving)
