Artists and Writers
The Barnes Landing Association’s 24th annual Anna Mirabai Lytton Writers’ and Artists’ Showcase will be held on Saturday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the Barnes Landing Association Meeting House at the intersection of Barnes Hole Road and Waters Edge in Amagansett.
The participating association members are Rameshwar Das, Bill Sherman, Joe Zoladz, Hal Hellerman, Susan Friend, Carole Stone, Harriet Oster, Maura Dickler, Elena Lesser Bruun, Kate Rabinowitz, Dee Slavutin, Linda Mergens, Hiroo Dickler Awano, Martin Awano, and Lisa Dickler Awano.
The event is named in honor of Anna Mirabai Lytton, a teenage community member, local school student, and vibrant young writer who was on a bicycle in 2013 when she died in a traffic accident.
Attendance is free, as is parking across the street from the meeting house.
Global Music
“Music Around the Globe,” a free concert presented by East End Jazz, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and expanding the world of jazz, will take place on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Southampton History Museum.
Featuring Iris Ornig on bass, Eugenia Choe on piano, and Alex Wyatt on drums, the concert will include music from the United States, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, South Africa, Italy, France, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. Among the genres represented are lullabies, love songs, folk tunes, even memorable soundtracks, all of which are reimagined through the distinctive spirit of jazz.
Laurie Anderson
Some tickets are still available for Summer Dinner Theater, The Church’s annual benefit, which will feature an evening of stories and songs by Laurie Anderson. The event, on Saturday at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor, will begin with cocktails at 5:30, followed by dinner and remarks at 6:30, with the performance beginning at 8.
Main-floor tickets, which are $850, are sold out, but a link to a waiting list is on the website. Mezzanine tickets are still available, priced at $650.
Southern Plants
The next Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons lecture, set for Sunday at 2 p.m., will feature Vincent Simeone on “Southern Plants for Northern Gardens.” An experienced lecturer, instructor, and horticultural consultant, Mr. Simeone has worked in the field for 37 years.
With weather becoming increasingly moderate along with consistent plant breeding to strengthen cold hardiness, now more than ever plants typically found in Southern gardens also work for residential and commercial gardens in the tristate region. The talk will focus on woody plants of the Southeast that have become more adaptable in gardens in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.
Tickets are $10, free for members.
