The Arts Center at Duck Creek is pleased to announce an off-site winter mini music series at the Sagaponack Farm  Distillery, with tickets priced at $20 per concert (all proceeds support Duck Creek’s free summer programming) or $50 for a three-show bundle. Duck Creek’s music series has long been a rare chance to hear rising musicians  and new work in an intimate setting. Our galleries go quiet each winter, but thanks to the generosity of  Sagaponack Farm Distillery, we’re able to keep the music alive with a special run of Sunday afternoon concerts  from 3–5 PM in the distillery’s beautiful Tasting Room.

Our first concert takes place Sunday, December 21, with the Peter Watrous Quartet, featuring Duck Creek’s  music curator Peter Watrous on guitar, Chaz Martineau on saxophones, Charlie Lincoln on bass, and Willis  Edmundson on drums. The quartet brings a dynamic, free-spirited approach to jazz, balancing deep musical  knowledge with playful improvisation. Their sets are conversational, surprising, and full of momentum—four  musicians listening closely, pushing one another, and discovering new ideas in real time.

On Sunday, January 4, we welcome the Emmanuel Michael Trio. Michael blends jazz, soul, and West African  rhythms into a sound that feels warm, inventive, and unmistakably his own. His playing—rooted in early years  singing in church and the musical traditions of his family—moves easily between delicate melodies and driving  grooves. His performances are intimate, open, and deeply expressive.

Our final concert on Sunday, January 25 features Julieta Eugenio, an Argentinian tenor saxophonist, composer,  and bandleader based in New York City. Known for her warm tone and thoughtful improvisation, she moved from  Buenos Aires to the U.S. in 2013, earned her master’s at Queens College, and quickly became a standout on the  

NYC jazz scene. Her trio’s debut, JUMP (Greenleaf Music, 2022), won the DCJazzPrix International Band  Competition. Eugenio has performed with Johnny O’Neal, Leon Parker, and the touring production SW!NG OUT,  and has appeared at Dizzy’s Club, SummerStage, and the Joyce Theater. She was nominated for Best New Artist at  the Jazz Music Awards and named one of GRAMMY Magazine’s “10 Jazz Emerging Artists to Watch.”
