Steve Washington will perform a blend of cabaret, jazz, and blues vocals at LTV Studios.

LTV Studios in Wainscott has a full slate of programs this weekend, starting tomorrow at 7 p.m. with “The Importance of Latin American Art and Why You Should Know It,” which will be filmed as the fourth episode of “The Mannix Show: Shooting the Sh*t With Cultural Folk.”

Hosted by Karyn Mannix, a gallerist, curator, and teacher, the panel discussion will feature Esperanza Leon, a Venezuelan-born curator who is now the head of education at LongHouse Reserve; Rocio Snyder-Zuasnabar, a Peruvian-American artist who has shown in Peru, Cuba, and the United States; Mago Martinez a.k.a. MAGO, an artist and curator, and Alex Vignoli, a painter, photographer, and web designer.

The panelists will share their experiences, including triumphs and failures, and provide insights into how the traditions of Indigenous cultures and practice relate to their work and to the global art world today.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

LTV’s East End Underground Live concert series will present “Heart of a Troubadour,” a performance by Steve Washington, on Saturday evening at 7:30. A blend of cabaret, jazz, and blues, the program will feature songs made famous by Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Mathis, Harry Belafonte, and more.

Mr. Washington’s CD release “Right to Love,” which debuted at the Metropolitan Room in Manhattan, led to multiple encore appearances internationally. At present, he is the co-lead vocalist for Raggs & the AllStars and continues to play notable venues including Blues Alley, the Carlyle Club, the Kennedy Center, the Atlas Theater, the Katzen Arts Center, and the Chrysalis Amphitheater.

Accompanying Mr. Washington will be Dwayne (Cook) Broadnax on drums, Jane Hastay on piano, and Peter Martin Weiss on bass.

East End Underground will return on Sunday afternoon at 4 with the Moss Ensemble, a quartet featuring Elizabeth Rodgers, piano; Marshall Coid, violin; Mary Wooten, cello, and Darcy Dunn, vocals.

The classical program will include pieces by Beethoven, Handel, Monteverdi, Barber, Fauré, Debussy, Piazzolla, Griffiths, and three world premieres by Joelle Nager, Ms. Wooten, and Mr. Coid.

Ms. Rodgers is a performer of chamber music and orchestral, choral, and operatic repertoire. Mr. Coid, in addition to being a violinist, is a countertenor, actor, director, conductor, composer, writer, and educator. Ms. Wooten’s practice embraces classical performance, jazz and pop improvisation, commercial recording, and the avant-garde. Ms. Dunn has performed leading roles with Chelsea Opera, Bronx Opera, Encompass Opera, Opera Manhattan, and Downtown Music Productions.

Tickets for both Saturday night’s and Sunday afternoon’s performances are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, and $65 for cafe table seating.
