The Reflections in Music concert series, which is directed by the Shelter Island composer Bruce Wolosoff, will return to The Church in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with "Reflections on Ellington," a concert and dance party featuring Art Baron & The Duke's Men.

The program is devoted to music by Duke Ellington, the composer, pianist, and bandleader who, with his creative partner Billy Strayhorn, created one of the most impressive bodies of work of any 20th-century composer. The first half of the evening will focus on Ellington's concert music and sacred music; the second half will be a dance party with sparkling drinks and sweets.

Art Baron & The Duke's Men was formed by Mr. Baron, a trombonist who was chosen by Ellington to join his orchestra when he was only 23. Mr. Baron, who has performed and recorded with Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Cab Calloway, B.B. King, and many others, formed the band after Ellington's death to keep his legacy alive.

Tickets are $40.

This article has been changed from its original and print versions because of two errors. The Reflections in Music series, a nonprofit organization, is a separate entity from The Church. In addition, Art Baron, not The Duke's Men, performed with the musicians cited above.
