Music and Dance
Tiler Peck, a leading American ballerina known not only as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet but also as an Olivier-nominated choreographer and multifaceted artist, will bring to Guild Hall five artists from diverse disciplines for a one-night-only performance on Saturday at 8.

Curated by Ms. Peck, the program blends music and dance in an innovative program that highlights the power of collaboration and the excitement of transcending creative boundaries. Ms. Peck will be joined by her colleagues Roman Mejia and India Bradley; Amaryn Olmeda, a violinist; Jacek Mysinski, a pianist, and Miles Levine, a cellist.

The program will feature new choreography by Ms. Peck with works by J.S. Bach, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, Arturo Marquez, Max Richter, Domenico Scarlatti, Franz Schubert, Carlos Simon, and Eugene Ysaye.

Besides the City Ballet, Ms. Peck has choreographed for other prestigious companies as well, among them the Boston Ballet, Northern Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and BalletX. 

Tickets for Saturday's program are $95 to $165, $85 to $148 for members.

Madoo Market and Party
The 13th annual Much Ado About Madoo garden market and cocktail party will take place at the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack on Saturday. This year's event celebrates a new welcome center dedicated to Jane Iselin, the venue's former board president and its Saturday greeter for the past 12 years.

The free daytime market, open from 11 to 4, features more than two dozen stalls selling garden accessories, plants, antiques, fashion, jewelry, and home furnishings. Among the vendors are Gretchen Comly, Hoare and Hoare Antiques, Home and Loft, Kitty Clay, Local Wool, Pennoyer Newman, and Raleigh Adams.

The cocktail party will run from 5 to 8 in the gardens overlooking the Foster Farm. Tickets are $350, $315 for members. 

Arts and Advocacy
The Neo-Political Cowgirls will hold their annual Arts and Advocacy benefit at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton on Saturday at 5 p.m. Titled "Andromeda's Sisters," the event is focused on highlighting and empowering women in the theater and nonprofit social justice orbits. 

This year's theme is "Women Speaking Truth to Power Through Their Work on Women's Health, the Constitution, and the Arts." Monologues and plays that address the themes will be followed by a panel discussion.

Elise Labott, an Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow, will moderate the panel, whose members include Ana Oliveira, president and C.E.O. of the New York Women's Foundation; Anne Ream, co-founder of the Center for Story and Witness, and Dorothy Quincy Thomas, a human rights advocate.

The featured monologue playwrights are Kate Mueth, the founder and artistic director of the Cowgirls; Emma Tattenbaum-Fine, a comedic writer, actor, and director, and Cindy Cooper, an award-winning playwright. Olivia Wasser and Jackie Iulo will perform along with dancers from the Cowgirls.

Tickets are $175, $300 for two.

Perlman Chamber Music
"Tutti Suonare" ("Everybody Play"), a chamber music and chorus concert featuring students and faculty of the Perlman Music Program's Chamber Music Workshop, will be performed at the Jewish Center of the Hamptons on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The performance will feature music by Grazyna Bacewicz, Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak, Robert Schumann, Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, and Gyorgy Orban. The artist-faculty performers are Kirsten Docter, Merry Peckham, Itzhak Perlman, Patrick Romano, Laurie Smukler, Vivian Hornik-Weilerstein, and Don Weilerstein.

Tickets are $40 for chairs, $65 for a pew seat. V.I.P. seating is $300. Doors will open at 6:15.

Music and Wolves
Two music programs and a presentation about an arctic adventure will happen at the Sag Harbor Masonic Club this weekend, starting Thursday at 7 with the Glam Jam. Walk-in musicians have been advised to arrive early to sign up to join the jam. Admission is a can of nonperishable food, which will be donated to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry.

Sag Harbor's Marianne Barnett, a photographer, and her husband, Michael Hayes, spent the month of April in Canada's high Arctic in search of Arctic wolves. Fewer than 100 people have made that journey, and Ms. Barnett is only the seventh woman to have done so. The couple will share stories and images of their adventure in a free program Friday at 7 p.m. at the temple. 

Mind Open, a vibraphone-led instrumental ensemble, will perform a concert of jazz, exotica, lounge, psychedelia, and surf rock on Saturday evening at 7. The band promises to deliver "a lounge lizard vibe with otherworldly flair." Tickets are $20, a portion of which is donated to local charities.
