Musical Benefit
Tasting Notes, a fund-raiser for the Hamptons Festival of Music, will combine a wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres, and a chamber concert at Hoie Hall at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The concert will be performed by Annie Chalex Boyle, a guest artist, on violin, and David Palmer on piano. The program will include music by Kreisler, de Falla, Beethoven, and Ravel. A surprise musical aperitif has also been promised.
The wines, chosen by Lisa Schock, Park Place Wines and Liquors’ certified master sommelier, have been selected to mirror the emotional character of the music. For example, a Cascina del Torcc Barolo will accompany Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata. Moby’s restaurant will serve three hors d’oeuvres, plated on site.
Tickets are $250.
Turturro Onscreen
When “Romance & Cigarettes,” a 2005 film written, directed, and produced by John Turturro, was released, Roger Ebert wrote, “ ‘Romance & Cigarettes’ is the real thing, a film that breaks out of Hollywood jail with audacious originality, startling sexuality, heartfelt emotions and an anarchic liberty.”
The Southampton Playhouse will host a 20th anniversary screening of a rare 35-millimeter print next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Afterward, Mr. Turturro and Aida Turturro, one of the stars of the film, will discuss it with Eric Kohn, the theater’s artistic director.
The cast also includes James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Steve Buscemi, Bobby Cannavale, Mary-Louise Parker, and Christopher Walken, to name only a few.
