Classical Piano
The Montauk Library will host a concert by Anne Cavolo Tedesco, a classical pianist, on Sunday at 3 p.m.
When Ms. Tedesco, an adjunct professor of music at St. John’s University, made her professional debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, The New York Times described her performance as an “intelligent articulation in Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, and a languid phrasing in Ravel’s ‘Miroirs.’”
Her program includes music by Bach, Mozart, Albéniz, Schumann, Chopin, and Moszkowski.
Big Band in Springs
The music series at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs will feature the Inés Velasco Large Ensemble next Thursday at 6 p.m.
Ms. Velasco is a composer, arranger, and drummer born in Mexico and based in Brooklyn. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music with a dual degree in jazz composition and performance, her recent work includes compositions for the National Jazz Orchestra of Mexico and string arrangements for the New York Philharmonic’s Bandwagon series with the vocalist Juana Luna.
Ms. Velasco will bring a 17-piece band to Duck Creek, consisting of a rhythm section, bass, drums, keyboard, guitar, and four trumpets, four trombones, and five saxophones.
The rain date is Aug. 2.
Flower Arrangements
The Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack will host a flower arranging demonstration and book signing with Emily Thompson and Frances Palmer on Sunday at noon. Working with flowers and foraged materials, the women will create arrangements from simple to extravagant.
Ms. Thompson, the author of “Emily Thompson Flowers,” has created installations at the White House, the Museum of Modern Art, and Lincoln Center, inspired by the picturesque 18th-century ideas of William Gilpin.
The author of “Life With Flowers: Inspiration and Lessons From the Garden,” Ms. Palmer is a ceramicist whose functional works of art, including vases, dishware, and photographs, have been featured in Vogue, Elle Decor, and The New York Times Style Magazine.
Tickets are $200, $180 for members.
Ancient Music
In celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton will present a concert featuring Bobby Peterson, its director of music and organist, and Michael Celentano, a tenor, on Sunday at 4 p.m.
The music selections include Marian antiphons, a set of hymns from the Middle Ages dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose use in the liturgy became more prominent in the 13th century, and Gregorian Chant, music with a melody of one note at a time. The latter, ceremonial in purpose, also began in the Middle Ages.

The temple calls it a “rare small-room performance,” with seating on a first-come-first-served basis. Tickets are $40 and are expected to sell quickly. Doors will open at 7.
Pianofest Is Back
Pianofest in the Hamptons, a summer festival that offers concentrated study to a small group of pianists selected by audition, has returned for its 37th season.
Directed by Paul Schenly, Pianofest, which provides its students with full scholarships and room and board, stresses an ethic of support rather than competition. In addition to emphasizing the solo repertoire, students accompany each one another in concertos and explore the duo piano literature.

Concerts will also take place at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church here on Wednesday; on July 16, and on July 23, all at 5:30. The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will host a recital tonight at 7. Post-concert receptions follow all performances.
