Events

  1. Quills with writer Douglas Wright in person

    1:00 PM · Museum of the Moving Image

    The Douglas Wright appearance turns this MoMI screening into more than repertory homework, making it the day's film pick that earns its place.

  2. Vision Festival 30: Steve Swell's Poetics of Improvisation

    2:00 PM · Abrons Art Center

    Vision Festival at Abrons keeps the day tied to New York's experimental-music lineage, with Steve Swell's program carrying more weight than a routine matinee.

  3. T4T LUV NRG Pride: Eris Drew b2b Octo Octa in The Ruins

    3:00 PM · Ruins at Knockdown Center

    Eris Drew and Octo Octa in the Ruins gives the afternoon Pride dance calendar a real center of gravity beyond generic party copy.

  4. Vision Festival 30: Dickey / Shipp / Lopez

    3:00 PM · Abrons Art Center

    Dickey, Shipp, and Lopez make this Abrons set the heavier avant-jazz bet for listeners who want the festival's serious afternoon stretch.

  5. Skip Laplante: 48 Wind Chimes

    3:30 PM · 15 Orient

    A timed 15 Orient program around Skip Laplante's wind chimes gives the art slot sound, object, and neighborhood specificity in one stop.

  6. Rachid Ouramdane | Compagnie de Chaillot

    4:00 PM · Lincoln Center Presents

    Ouramdane at Lincoln Center is the day's strongest dance-theater lane, a live counterweight to the feed's many passive screenings and parties.

  7. OR BAREKET - Layale Chaker - Elias Stemeseder

    7:00 PM · Close up

    Close Up's small-room trio pairing has a sharper improvising edge than most of the night's straight-ahead club listings.

  8. Labiahead (all women Radiohead) w/ Opening Sets from Lena Hall, Meg Toohey + Charlene Kaye

    7:00 PM · Le Poisson Rouge

    Le Poisson Rouge gives this all-women Radiohead project enough downtown polish to make the tribute premise feel like an actual Sunday-night event.

  9. Terell Stafford Quintet

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

    Stafford's Vanguard week gives Sunday a proper jazz anchor, the kind of basement set that can steady a crowded Pride-day calendar.

  10. Interviews with Two Strangers

    TBC · La MaMa, 74A E 4th St, New York, NY

    La MaMa keeps this East Village theater pick more immediate than the Broadway defaults, with a premise built around live encounter.
