Three Pierson High School seniors, Meredith Spolarich, a poet, Elizabeth Hallock, a violinist, and Miachesca Gangemi, a harpist, will perform "Silent Strings," an ensemble of music and poetry celebrating the wonders of the natural environment, on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The performance is free.
On Wednesday at 5 p.m., Isabel Vincent will discuss her newest book, "Overture of Hope: Two Sisters' Daring Plan That Saved Opera's Jewish Stars From the Third Reich," a suspenseful true story about two women who saved dozens of performers and other opera workers. Ms. Vincent will be interviewed by Dana Kennedy, a New York Post reporter. Tickets are $15.

Gender and Justice
The Viewpoints series at the Watermill Center will host a roundtable discussion with artist members of For Freedoms on the various intersections of gender and justice across the spectrum of gender identity Thursday evening at 6 p.m.
An artist-led organization that models and increases creative civic engagement and direct action, For Freedoms works with artists and organizations to examine what democracy looks like and to reshape conversations about politics. It is currently engaged in a series of programs at the center and the Parrish Art Museum.
The panel includes Joshua Allen, Autumn Breon, Zoe Buckman, Samara Gaev, Tyler Givens, and Keioui Keijaun Thomas. Carly Fischer will moderate, and Ms. Breon will perform a new work.
Tickets are $25.

The Certain Moves Trio will bring jazz, R&B, funk, pop, reggae, and soul to LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton Thursday evening at 6. Based on the East End, the group consists of Charles Certain, saxophone and vocals; Bill Gaines, keyboards and vocals, and John Smith, guitar and vocals.
The band will play at LongHouse on Thursday evenings through Oct. 27. Tickets are $25, free for members.
Sports Memorabilia
Neil Scherer's two passions are sports and art, and the next exhibition at Ashawagh Hall in Springs will bring those together, from Wednesday through Oct. 17, in the form of sports memorabilia assemblages.
The works in the show include a range of rare authenticated artifacts, among them autographs, tickets, programs, and photographs which, when joined together, tell the story of a particular sports event.
For New York Yankees fans, two assemblages celebrate Mickey Mantle's 18 World Series home runs and Roger Maris's 61-home run season. While many displays revolve around baseball, others pay tribute to the 1938 football Giants, the top 50 N.B.A. players, and the Olympic champion Michael Phelps, among others.
Can Mr. Scherer assemble a display for Aaron Judge in time for the exhibit?
