Sondheim to Van Gogh
While Melissa Errico is best known for her starring roles on Broadway in such musicals as “Anna Karenina,” “My Fair Lady,” “High Society,” and “Amour,” for which she received a Tony nomination, she has an especially rich and enduring relationship with the music of Stephen Sondheim.
Her interpretation of that music will find expression at Guild Hall on Sunday at 7 p.m. in “Sondheim Supreme,” a performance that draws upon her 2018 album of the same name, in which, The New York Times said, she “combines all she knows about beautiful singing with all she knows about making words count.”
Ms. Errico will be accompanied by Tedd Firth, a music director, pianist, and composer. Tickets are $30 to $100, $28 to $95 for members.
In association with LongHouse Reserve, the artist and Oscar-nominated director Julian Schnabel will bring his most recent film, “At Eternity’s Gate,” to Guild Hall on Wednesday evening at 7. Starring Willem Dafoe, it focuses on Vincent van Gogh’s years of self-imposed exile in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Tickets are $25, $23 for members.
Comedy Night at LTV
Elayne Boosler, who has been an elite club comic on both coasts since her debut at New York’s Improv in 1973, will headline a night of stand-up comedy at LTV Studios in Wainscott on July 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. The program, a benefit for the LTV media center, will also feature Michele Balan, a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” and Bill McCuddy, an auctioneer and entertainment reporter as well as a comedian. Angela LaGreca will host.
Of Ms. Boosler’s many stand-up specials, Jason Zinoman of The New York Times wrote, “Her act . . . anticipated the future of comedy better than most if not all of her peers.”
Wines, craft beers, and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Tickets are $100, $150 for preferred seating and a post-show reception with the performers.
Perlman Concert
The Perlman Music Program’s annual faculty concert will be tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at its Shelter Island campus. Because of the popularity of the free performance by the program’s master teachers, guests have been advised to arrive early and take beach chairs or blankets. Students of the program’s summer music school will give a free concert of works in progress on Saturday evening at 7:30.
Tom Scott on Sax
Tom Scott, a saxophonist and composer with 13 Grammy nominations and dozens of solo recordings to his credit, will perform tonight at 7 at the Southampton Arts Center with Combo Nuvo, a jazz sextet.
An original member of the Blues Brothers band with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Mr. Scott has composed music for television and films and recorded with such artists as George Harrison, the Beach Boys, the Grateful Dead, and Paul McCartney.
Combo Nuvo, whose instruments include the blues harp, Middle Eastern percussion, synthesizers, pennywhistle, flutes, and clarinets, has performed at the Blue Note Jazz Club, Birdland, and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in New York City. Tickets are $15, $12 for friends of SAC.
Jazz at the Parrish
Nilson Matta, a Grammy-nominated Brazilian bassist and composer, will launch the Music on the Terrace series with his trio tomorrow evening at 6 at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill.
Mr. Matta has collaborated with renowned musicians such as Yo Yo Ma, Joe Henderson, Paul Winter, Nancy Wilson, Herbie Mann, and Gato Barbieri. He is also known for his work with Trio Da Paz and Don Pullen and the African Brazilian Connection.
Tickets are $12, free for members and students. Guests have been encouraged to take chairs, blankets, and picnics.
Comic Monologues
Sandra K, an actress and comedian whose path to the stage has led from Queens to the garment district to on-air appearances on QVC, will perform “Exit Strategy,” a one-woman show, on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Southampton Cultural Center
The show developed out of a monologue from Wendy Wasserstein’s “The Sisters Rosensweig” that she performed in an acting class at Bay Street Theater with Allen O’Reilly, “who so aptly cast me as a Jewish suburban housewife who is a talk show host.”
The performance will open with a comic account of her life, followed by monologues written by Donald Margulies, Neil LaBute, Craig Pospisil, and Wasserstein. Mr. O’Reilly, who is Bay Street’s education director, will direct. Tickets are $20, $10 for students under 21.
The center’s series of summer concerts in Agawam Park and at Cooper’s Beach will open on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a performance by Nancy Atlas.
