The Salon Series, the classical music program of the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, will open its fall series tomorrow at 6 p.m. with a concert by William McNally, a pianist whose repertory ranges from classical to ragtime.

The first half of the program will feature preludes by the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff: the Prelude in C-sharp minor (Lento), Op. 3, No. 2, and the complete Preludes, Op. 23. After a brief intermission, Mr. McNally will play a selection of pieces by the iconic ragtime composers Scott Joplin and Arthur Schutt, new ragtime-inspired works by the modern composers Vincent Matthew Johnson and Carter Pann, and his own “Blue Donkey Rag.”

Mr. McNally first took the stage at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall at the age of 9. Since then he has performed at venues and festivals throughout the United States, and he recently completed his doctorate at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Upcoming programs will feature Alexandria Le, a pianist, on Friday, Oct. 14, Sybarite5, a string quartet, on Oct. 21, and Nadejda Vlaeva, a pianist, on Oct. 28. Tickets for each concert are $20, $10 for members, and each program will be followed by a reception.
