Creative Jazz
David Leon, a Cuban-American saxophonist, woodwinds player, and composer-improviser, is next up in the music series at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs on Saturday at 5 p.m. For "Bird's Eye," his most recent ensemble piece, he will be accompanied by Doyeon Kim on gayageum, a Korean plucked zither, and Lesley Mok on percussion.
Inspired by the folkloric music of Cuba and Korea, Mr. Leon's compositions weave rigorous ensemble writing and guided improvisation to investigate collectivity.
A Survival Drama
"No Place on Earth," a Holocaust documentary nominated for best screenplay by the Writers Guild of America, will have its East End premiere Thursday evening at 7:30 at the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in East Hampton.
Directed by Janet Tobias, the 2012 film was inspired by Chris Nicola's book "The Secret of Priest's Grotto," which chronicles what the explorer found in a cave in Southwestern Ukraine in 1993.
The discovery of a shoe, a key, cookware, and other signs of human habitation led to Mr. Nicola's uncovering a harrowing story. In 1942, 38 men, women, and children sought refuge from the Nazis in an underground hole, where they created their own society and survived for 511 days.
Tickets are $25, $20 for members.
