Sandford on Sanford
Ann Sandford of Sagaponack will talk about her new book, “Reluctant Reformer: Nathan Sanford in the Era of the Early Republic,” at the Hampton Library on Saturday at 11 a.m.
Sanford, a Bridgehampton native and distant cousin of the author, was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson as a federal attorney for New York State before serving two terms as a U.S. Senator in the post-Revolutionary period. As a senator, Sanford took a strong stance against slavery and pushed for voting rights for every man, regardless of race or religion. Refreshments will be served.
The documentary “Nefertiti’s Daughters” will be screened at the library on Monday at 7 p.m. It focuses on the role that street art played in the Egyptian uprising of 2011.

Singing Workshop
Spaces are still available for a free singing workshop in late February led by Deborah Carmichael of Manhattan and Amagansett. The workshop, to be held at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, will provide an introduction to Libero Canto, a holistic teaching approach that releases tension and leads to increased freedom and spontaneity in singing. The process was first developed before World War II by Lajos Szamosi, a Hungarian music teacher. He called it the path to free singing.
The workshop will run from Feb. 23 to 25. Those seeking more information or wishing to sign up can email Ms. Carmichael at [email protected].
