Founded in 1983 by Bill Akin, Montauk Chamber Music Society presented a number of classical concerts and recitals in private venues. As Music Director, New York cellist Fredrick Zlotkin was instrumental in bringing world renowned musicians such as pianist Misha Dichter to Montauk. In 1991 the name Music For Montauk was adopted when producing concerts for the general public became a priority. Soon thereafter Ruth Widder assumed management of the organization. Ruth was instrumental in producing over 90 free concerts for local residents from Montauk to Watermill. After Mrs. Widder's passing in 2013, founder Bill Akin was thrilled to pass the leadership torch to Lilah Gosman, a Montauk native who has pursued a multi-track career trajectory in Philadelphia as therapist, specialist educator and musician, ogether with her husband Miloš Repický, a pianist and conductor who spent a decade on the roster of the Metropolitan Opera and is currently visiting professor at The Curtis Institute of Music. Ms Gosman and Mr Repický's fresh artistic vision for Music for Montauk began in 2015 and continues to attract new and diverse audiences. https://www.musicformontauk.org
