Events

  1. Kelsey Lu Live + Signing

    1:45 PM · Rough Trade NYC

    A live set plus signing at Rough Trade gives Kelsey Lu's appearance a more intimate, fan-forward shape than a standard afternoon listing.

  2. Life and Death: Maceo Plex (live), DJ Tennis, MUSCLECARS, Danny Daze, Andi & Arvin T

    3:00 PM · Knockdown Center

    Knockdown Center turns this into a full-day electronic sprawl with real scale, built for people who want Saturday to start early and run long.

  3. TBOY x RIFFBLAST: Trademark Pending

    3:00 PM · Krause Gallery

    A timed Krause Gallery event gives the art lane real afternoon momentum, with a title that reads more alive than the all-day exhibition stack.

  4. Abrons EXP: OPEN by maassai

    7:00 PM · Experimental Theater, Abrons Arts Center, New York, NY

    Abrons keeps the theater slot downtown and current, with maassai's project landing far from the Broadway defaults.

  5. PROMISED SKY Q&A with Filmmaker Erige Sehiri & Star Laetitia Ky, Co-Presented by the New York African Film Festival

    7:00 PM · Film Forum

    Film Forum's Q&A turns this into the day's strongest cinema occasion, with the New York African Film Festival frame adding night-of context.

  6. @CPR | Denisse Griselda Reyes and Melia Efstratis Chendo: Get on the Couch

    7:30 PM · Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn, NY

    CPR is a strong home for this smaller performance pick, the sort of Saturday plan that rewards following the dance-theater edge.

  7. Renee Rosnes Quartet

    8:00 PM · Village Vanguard, New York, NY

    Rosnes at the Vanguard remains the cleanest jazz anchor on Saturday, a serious pianist-led quartet in the room built for it.

  8. BEN MONDER - Matt Brewer - Johnathan Blake

    8:00 PM · Close up

    Close Up puts a heavy trio in a listening-room frame, giving the night a sharper musician-led option than the larger club bills.

  9. Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band

    8:00 PM · Blue Note Jazz Club

    Blade's Fellowship Band is the polished centerpiece pick, but the group has enough rhythmic life to avoid feeling merely safe.

  10. Collaborative Studio Preview + Party

    8:00 PM · UnionDocs

    UnionDocs makes the preview-and-party format feel specific to Brooklyn's documentary and artist-film crowd, not just another screening.
