Our ongoing partnership with Hamptons Jazz Fest continues as we welcome The Rez Abbasi and Kiran Ahluwalia Quartet! The Rez Abbasi and Kiran Ahluwalia Quartet brings together acclaimed guitarist Rez Abbasi and Grammy-winning vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia in a collaboration that blends jazz with South Asian musical traditions. Abbasi, a Guggenheim Fellow, is recognized for his work as a composer and bandleader, while Ahluwalia is known for her interpretations of traditional Punjabi music alongside original compositions. Together, they present a program rooted in both improvisation and global musical forms.
Join us for a stellar performance from poetic powerhouse Pamela Sneed! Following a sold out run at Joe’s Pub last year, Sneed’s A Tribute to Big Mama Thornton comes to The Church for a rollicking evening of music, storytelling, and a celebration of the unsung Black woman founder of rock and roll, who brought us classics like “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “You Ain’t Nothing but a Hound Dog.”
Written and conceived by Sneed, A Tribute to Big Mama Thornton is a cabaret performance that sees a live band weaving together monologue as Sneed sings, speaks, and celebrates the life and music of Willie Mae Thornton’s. With an eye toward restorative justice, this performance gives credit back to Thornton’s musical legacy and is a valuable educational asset. Sneed is joined by band members Viva DeConcini (musical director) Mara Rosenbloom, and David A. Barnes.
Ahoy! The Sons of Town Hall are set to return to the shores of Sag Harbor for another evening of music, storytelling, laughter, and whimsy. Pulled back to The Church by the current of popular demand, the 19th- century vagabonds Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, mythic characters played by the transatlantic folk duo of American songwriter & author David Berkely and British songwriter & producer Ben Paker, take audiences on another amazing adventure. From the simply sensational artistry of their original songs to their impeccable comedic timing, The Sons treat audiences to an evening of delightful imaginative play and reprieve from the stresses of the modern world. Take it from those who joined us the last time The Sons were here, this is a show you need to experience!
Join us for our second concert of the 2026 summer season with Hamptons Jazz Fest and welcome Trio Libre! Trio Libre is a project by Latin Grammy–winning percussionist Samuel Torres, featuring a minimalist trio of congas, piano, and vibraphone. The ensemble explores a stripped-down approach to jazz and Afro-Latin music through rhythm, texture, and improvisation. Join us for a vibrant evening straight from the heart!
Let Lola Lama entertain you! Join us for a very special concert with Whatever Lola Wants, commissioned in response to our summer exhibition This Land: Considering The American Landscape. Lola Lama, the front woman of Whatever Lola Wants and recent BFA Drama Graduate from the New Studio on Broadway at NYU Tisch, takes audiences on a journey through the American Musical Theater landscape. Performing classics like “Whatever Lola Wants” from Damn Yankees and “Can’t We Be Friends” from Fine and Dandy, while offering the fascinating history behind them.
Lama is joined by Whatever Lola Wants bandmates Matthew Brand on keyboard and Dylan Hewett on bass. Learn about your favorite showtunes, uncover the transformations in Musical Theater history, and enjoy a one of a kind performance by rising stars of the East End.
Lite bites and a cash bar will be available for this performance!
Our final Hamptons Jazz Fest concert of the summer brings us The Meg Okura Quintet featuring Sam Newsome. The Meg Okura Quintet is led by Tokyo-born, New York–based violinist and composer Meg Okura, a Juilliard-trained, Grammy-nominated artist known for blending classical technique with jazz improvisation and global influences. She has performed with artists including Michael Brecker, Lee Konitz, and David Bowie, and appeared at venues such as Birdland, Blue Note, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
