COME BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THREE NEW WORKS PERFORMED BY ROOMFUL OF TEETH!
Two-time Grammy winners Roomful of Teeth present a performance featuring new music by some of today’s most visionary composers, including Christopher Cerrone, Mingjia Chen, and Eliza Bragg. The Church is thrilled to welcome the vocal ensemble back for a week-long residency as they workshop these three new works, in preparation for their premiere performance at The Church on Thursday, January 23, to be followed by a sold-out show at Zankel Hall presented by Carnegie Hall on Saturday, January 25 to include an additional world premiere new work by Gabriela Ortiz. This residency and performance will continue the group’s exploration of creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music using a continuously expanding vocabulary of singing techniques.
Help us welcome back the Roomful of Teeth ensemble: Estelí Gomez, Mingjia Chen, Eliza Bagg, Martha Cluver, Virginia Kelsey, Jodie Landau, Steven Bradshaw, Thann Scoggin, and Cameron Beauchamp, and join us for an unforgettable evening.
This residency is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

“I think, to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.” -- Sharon Olds
The Power of Poetry returns. After a warmly received inaugural program, Verse 1 – The Sag Harbor Saints, The Church is excited to invite you to join us for the second iteration, Verse 2 – An Ode to Some Odes, as we explore the voices of three acclaimed poets: Paul Auster, Denis Johnson, and Sharon Olds.

Join us for the evening where artists of all mediums are invited to join, socialize, listen to music, and work on any projects, whether past or current. It’s a hang-out! Come break out of your solitary studio and make art at The Church!
BYOT: Bring Your Own Typewriter!
Join fellow typewriter enthusiasts as we gather for an evening of noise, fun, and creativity. Grab a coffee or a tea from our concession stand and sit down to type like you're in your favorite coffeehouse. Swap typewriter stories with those in attendance. Admire the typewriters people bring. Check out the typewriters in the show. Let the exhibition and community inspire your fingertips as they dance across the keys.
Don’t have a typewriter? That’s okay! We’ll have a few on hand, courtesy of The East Hampton Star, for you to try. Or bring a pen and notebook.
Regardless of your writing medium, escape WIFI distractions and digital screens for a bit and explore the creativity in possibility.
