Outlaw Country
The Sag Harbor Cinema will launch a new series of Cinema Live Conversations on Sunday at 4:30 p.m., when Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, the theater’s artistic director, will discuss the newly restored country music documentary “Heartworn Highways” with its producer, Graham Leader.
In the mid-1970s, the filmmaker James Szalapski documented what would become known as the “outlaw country” movement. Popularized and developed by a younger generation of artists including Townes Van Zandt, David Alan Coe, Steve Earle, the Charlie Daniels Band, and Guy Clark, the outlaw sound borrowed from rock, folk, and bluegrass with an edge that had been missing from mainstream Nashville country music.
Links to the virtual conversations can be found on the cinema’s website, where “Heartworn Highways” will be available for viewing starting Friday.
On Textile Design
The LongHouse Reserve is presenting ”In Conversation With Yoshiko Wada,” a series of three virtual lectures by the Japanese textile artist, curator, researcher, and author, who was called “a Colossus, spanning east and west, past and future,” by Jack Lenor Larsen, LongHouse’s founder.
The inaugural lecture, “The Dyer’s Art in Japan: Homage to Jack Lenor Larsen,” will take place Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Its title references "The Dyer’s Art,” an influential book co-authored by Larsen that was published in 1976. Ms. Wada will discuss colorful, less-familiar Japanese resist-dying traditions up to the present.
Future talks will explore the Japanese costume in history (March 28) and the power of stitchery (April 25). Each Zoom talk is $35, $25 for LongHouse members.
Youth Quartet
The Southampton Cultural Center will present a free virtual concert by the Hampton Youth Quartet on Sunday at 4 p.m. The group consists of Kristina Georges and Tessa Arnzen on violin, Julian Misut on viola, and Charlotte Arnzen on cello. The program, which can be seen on the center’s Facebook page, will feature compositions by Mozart and Dvorak, as well as several modern classics.
