June 2 1973 - April 27 2026
Michael Yip was a generous philanthropist, a leading innovator, and a passionate advocate for the art of orchestral music in East Hampton. The Hamptons Festival of Music would not exist in any form today without the generosity and pioneering spirit of Michael, who sustained the Festival for Five Seasons, laying the groundwork for many years to come of world-class orchestral performance on the East End. Michael made his home in Springs with his loving and devoted husband conductor Michael Palmer.
He believed in the power of music to bring people together and made that possible for all of us.
