Events

  1. Himiko

    2:30 PM · BAM

    BAM's screening of Masahiro Shinoda's mythic period film earns the second cinema slot through its rare combination of visual rigor and repertory scale.

  2. We, The Feminists! Or WTF!

    3:00 PM · The Tank Theater

    The Tank is a natural home for this pointed feminist theater piece, a downtown matinee with a sharper identity than the day's Broadway defaults.

  3. Yinka Esi Graves

    4:00 PM · Lincoln Center Presents

    Graves' flamenco language is shaped by Black diasporic inquiry, giving the afternoon performance a distinct point of view beyond the usual institutional dance calendar.

  4. Brakhage on Brakhage

    4:00 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Anthology remains the definitive setting for Brakhage's handmade cinema, and the self-reflective program gives experimental film a serious Sunday anchor.

  5. Summer Solstice & Opening Celebration: The 2026 Socrates Annual

    5:00 PM · Socrates Sculpture Park

    The solstice opening turns the new Socrates annual into a timed waterfront gathering, with the social energy that an all-day exhibition listing cannot offer.

  6. Pink Siifu: A Father's Day Benefit Show w/ Friends

    7:00 PM · SOB's

    Pink Siifu's benefit set at SOB's gives Father's Day a community-minded, artist-driven finale instead of another generic holiday party.

  7. JAZZTOPAD FESTIVAL - Tomasz Dabrowski - Elias Stemeseder - Henry Fraser - Jon Starks - Special Guests

    7:30 PM · Close Up, New York City

    Jazztopad packs a musician-led international lineup into Close Up, where the small setting should keep the festival set exploratory and immediate.

  8. Inner Spaces — Amir ElSaffar & Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch

    7:30 PM · National Sawdust

    ElSaffar and Bianchi Hoesch bring acoustic and electronic languages together at National Sawdust, a focused collaboration with more shape than a routine Sunday booking.

  9. FRED HERSCH | DREW GRESS | PETER ERSKINE

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

    Hersch, Gress, and Erskine close their Vanguard run with a trio built for the basement's exacting focus, the day's clearest straight-ahead jazz destination.

  10. Bendik Giske, Pavel Milyakov, MOTHERBOARD, Relaxer b2b Baby Leo

    8:00 PM · Pioneer Works, Brooklyn, NY

    Pioneer Works gives this saxophone, electronics, and DJ bill enough scale to turn an experimental program into a proper Red Hook night out.
