The Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival's Wm. Brian Little Concert, set for tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Channing Daughters Winery in Bridgehampton, will bring the guitarist Stephane Wrembel and his band there for "Bach & Django."

Django Reinhardt, the legendary Belgian jazz guitarist, said that Bach's music "speaks to my heart and brings tears to my eyes." Mr. Wrembel's program will explore the connection between Bach's music and Reinhardt, including Reinhardt's interpretation of Bach's double violin concerto.

The benefit begins with hors d'oeuvres and wine in an outdoor setting, with the concert taking place at 7 under a tent. Tickets are $175.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
