The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue will present “Alarms and Excursions,” Michael Frayn’s 1998 comedy, in a three-week run beginning next Thursday evening at 7.

The play actually consists of eight comic sketches that are linked by the mayhem and embarrassment caused by various forms of technology. In the opening sketch, for example, a dinner party is wrecked by faulty smoke alarms, buzzing timers, and a corkscrew so complex that it sends its user to the hospital. Answering machines, burglar alarms, and airline safety announcements are also skewered for laughs.

The production stars Andrew Botsford, Rosemary Cline, George A. Loizides, and Jane Lowe. Diane Marbury directs. Performances will take place Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays, May 27 and June 10, at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2:30. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for senior citizens (except Saturday evenings), $15 for those under 35, and $10 for students. An HTC benefit performance will happen on June 3 at 6:30 p.m.

The Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor will present the season’s final concert in the Bach, Before and Beyond series on Sunday at 3 p.m. Walter Klauss, artistic director of the series, has commissioned a concerto composed specifically for the church’s historic 19th-century organ. The work is scored for organ, string quartet, and percussion.

The program will also include two Baroque cantatas for mezzo-soprano, strings, and harpsichord, sung by Barbara Fusco, and Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F, which will be performed by Poetica Ensemble. Tickets are $20 at the door and can also be purchased at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.

Cuba Book Campaign 

Tria Giovan, a part-time resident of Sag Harbor, spent part of the 1990s in Cuba on a series of monthlong trips. A professional and art photographer, she has gathered the images she took there for a book to be published in September called “The Cuba Archive: Photography From 1990s Cuba.”

The book, designed by Yolanda Cuomo, includes 120 photographs with an essay by Silvana Paternostro, a Colombian-born journalist. To raise money for the production, Ms. Giovan has an Indiegogo online campaign with several perks for supporters, including a signed book at the lower end and signed limited edition prints of the photographs for larger contributions. The campaign will continue through Monday.

Milos Repicky, who, with his wife, Lilah Gosman, directs the Montauk Music Festival, promises “everything from the most intimate song to a Mozart symphony this season,” and, judging from the program of the festival’s Spring Prelude, he plans to make good on that promise. The prelude, a free concert on Saturday afternoon at 4 at the Montauk School auditorium, will launch the festival’s 2017 season.

The concert will include Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor; Debussy’s “La Fille aux Cheveux du Lin,” performed in an arrangement for a string quartet; Francis Poulenc’s “Fiancailles Pour Rire,” and Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Quintet in D minor. The program will conclude with Bellini’s “Qui la voce Sua Soave” from “I Puritani,” which will be performed by the entire Music for Montauk ensemble.

The musicians will include Annaliesa Place (violin), Diego Garcia (cello), and Mr. Repicky (piano). They will be joined by Joanna Maurer (violin) from the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Angela Pickett (viola) of Sybarite 5. Emily Pogorelc, a soprano, will provide “eloquent lyricism and requisite vocal fireworks for the program,” according to the festival.

A post-concert Spring Awakening party will be held from 5:30 to 7 at Gosman’s restaurant. Reception tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door.

The festival’s summer series will take place from Aug. 20 through Aug. 27 with concerts at Third House (Montauk County Park), Fort Pond House, and the Art Barge, a new venue that will feature the Pedro Giraudo Trio performing “Mozart for Montauk” and a sunset salon of new works.

The season will conclude on Oct. 29 with a staged version of Hugo Wolf’s “Italienisches Liederbuch” under the leadership of the pianist Mikael Eliasen of the Curtis Institute.

Those of us who missed out on debut performances of Johann Sebastian Bach’s secular cantatas at the Cafe Zimmermann in Leipzig or Edith Piaf’s singing at celebrated Parisian cabarets have a chance to attend a concert that promises to be pioneering in Southampton tomorrow when Spektrum Ensemble presents “The Cafe Connection: Music in Intimate Settings Through the Years” at 7 p.m. at the Southampton Cultural Center. 

The quartet, a group of like-minded musicians who are based in New York City and on Long Island, offers more than classical music. It evokes the atmosphere of European cafes, incorporating diverse musical forms and improvisation, and, depending on the particular program, guest performers may join in. 

“Spektrum Ensemble is unique in that we want to take the stuffiness out of classical music,” said Trudy Craney, a Grammy and Emmy Award-winning soprano who performs internationally. “It doesn’t just have to be classical, it can be popular, jazz. This concert is about the history of cafe society, how it came to fruition in Europe.” 

As an example, the group might juxtapose a Chopin mazurka arranged as a song by Pauline Viardot, a mezzo-soprano and pianist with whom Chopin collaborated, with a Piaf song, followed by a cello sonata by the Belgian composer Eugene Ysaye. The approach creates “a very dynamic atmosphere,” Ms. Craney said.

 “We talk about it and then perform a very broad smattering of music. We feel you can have a rather complicated piece right next to a piece that is so beautiful and acceptable that people start making an association between the two.” 

The other members of Spektrum Ensemble are Alex Pryrodny, a pianist who comes from Ukraine, Andrew Perea, a conductor, composer, and performer who has collaborated with Ray Charles, Itzhak Perlman, and Yanni, among others, and Rebecca Perea, a cellist who plays with numerous ensembles and also has performed intsernationally. 

“I come from a purely classical background,” Ms. Craney said. “Some of my colleagues do a lot of improvisation. Alex is a phenomenal pianist. Rebecca and Andrew, who are married, are so comfortable with improvisation and orchestrating.” 

“The Cafe Connection” will feature music by Chopin, Bach, and Puccini, among other selections, as well as Piaf songs, Ms. Craney said. “We want to build an audience, and recapture the excitement of live music.”

To that end, Ms. Craney said, she and Ellen Johansen, a pianist and teacher who lives in East Hampton, “have this vision of starting a loosely based ensemble of local, high-level musicians and performing in various combinations.” 

“We are so grateful to the executive director of the Southampton Cultural Center, Kirsten Lonnie, who is a real lover of music, especially classical, for affording us this opportunity to build music making on the East End,” Ms. Craney said. 

Admission to the concert is by free-will donation.
