Fresh off her Grand Prize win at the 2025 NewSong Performance & Songwriting Competition, Lindsay Foote has been lighting up stages throughout the Northeast. A regularly featured artist on CBS’s “The Young and The Restless,” Lindsay’s music captures a raw, honest, and powerfully groovy sound that blends elements from folk & pop with a gritty rock Americana edge.

A night at a Lindsay Foote show is one you won’t forget—the lyrical candor and infectious grooves just stay with you. Backed by a dynamic band, her welcoming stage presence invites the audience on a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience. Long after the final note fades, her songs linger—haunting, hummable, and deeply felt.

This exhibition examines depictions of the American flag through 75 works by a diverse group of artists, beginning during WWI with Childe Hassam’s Italian Day, May 1918 and continuing to the present day, including a textile sculpture commissioned for the show from Maria de Los Angeles. The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold, Robert Rauschenberg, Shepard Fairey, and Julie Mehretu, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all.

For Which It Stands… forms part of America250: The Promise and Paradox, an initiative through which Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment.

The Atelier presents Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn’s picturesque landscape scenes in a solo exhibition, opening Thursday, April 2 and running through Thursday, April 30.

Dr. Mendelsohn’s profound vision transcends a simple landscape view to uncover “unobvious” scenes. By using color symbolism and brushwork to mirror the stillness translates intangible feelings into visual elements. When a viewer engages with the resulting work, they aren't just seeing a scene; they feel the heat of a painted sun or the calm of a silent pond.
“I think of myself as a truth seeker. I want to create an original work that emulates Mother Nature in a painterly fashion, rendering art that captures the effects of atmosphere through color and light. My goal is to effortlessly paint what I envision in my mind’s eye.”

Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn, is a modern-day Renaissance man — neurologist, philanthropist, author, musician and artist. He is the holder of both a BA and MA degree as well as a MD, and is predominantly a landscape artist utilizing both oil and egg tempera paints. With over four decades of experience, Frederic has studied extensively with the Art Students League in NYC, The Art League of Long Island, New School University, and Marymount College, and is a proud member of the Long Island Museum Artist Guild as well as the Setauket Artist Group and the North Shore Art Guild.

The opening reception for this amazing solo exhibition is Thursday, April 2, 5:30-7:30PM. Come meet Dr. Mendelsohn and experience the beauty of our local landscape! For more information. call 631-250-9009.

Between Us: Sunday Chamber Music Series

Featuring:

- Shane Barker, Viola
- Michael Maronich, Piano
- Charles Frederick Secrease, Actor
- Jeanine Pardey, Actor

In honor of National Poetry Month, violist Shane Barker has fashioned a program that pairs two art forms: Poetry and Music. Audiences will hear spoken aloud the words of Emily Dickinson, Alfred de Musset, and William Shakespeare, and in the intimate listening space that is The Granite, hear the musical companion to each literary work: music of Töru Takemitsu, Rebecca Clarke, and Sergei Prokofiev.

"Iolanthe" is a comic opera by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, first performed in 1886. Like many Gilbert and Sullivan operas, it satirizes various aspects of Victorian Britain, including its political and legal system, and also the institution of marriage. Arthur Sullivan's musical score is a beautiful combination of the classical and the romantic, as he borrows liberally from Continental composers.

A concert of music for pairs of performers, vocal and instrumental. Soloists include Henry Church, guitar, Larissa Davidowitz, soprano, Robert Havery, piano, Vanessa Holroyd, flute, Ariana Keeler, sopranos and Liam Keller, tenor, Steve Minkler, piano.
