Wave Hill Events July 28–August 3

 

The Bronx’s own double Grammy Award-winner Samara Joy returns to Wave Hill August 2 for our last summer concert of the summer. We're hoping for good weather; Shine Only tickets are still available for picnicking on our lawn and enjoying the Gen Z, jazz-singing sensation. For a very different performance experience, join us in Wave Hill House for a movement- and sound-based performance by Zachary Fabri, one of the exhibiting artists in This Place We Once Remembered, up in Glyndor Gallery till August 6.                             

 
Family Art Project: Fishy Fun 
Free with admission to the grounds 

Focus on friends with fins, especially those popular goldfish swimming in Wave Hill’s Aquatic Garden. Turn colorful paper bags into fantastic 3-D fish that can swim through the air and flutter home with you. On Sunday, stop by the Aquatic Garden to learn more about freshwater habitats. The program takes place indoors in the Kerlin Learning Center located on the lower level of Wave Hill House.                                          

Public Gallery Tour  
Free, and admission to the grounds is free on Thursdays 

Exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationship between nature, culture and site. When exhibitions are open, Gallery Greeters lead public gallery tours on Thursdays and Saturdays. Visitors can expect an in-depth look at artworks on view in Glyndor Gallery and in the Sunroom Project Space, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in a unique environment. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.   

Yoga in the Garden  
$25; including admission to the grounds. Wave Hill Members save 10% 

Root your feet in the grass and look out upon the vistas as you enjoy a gentle yoga class led by Lisa Lindstrom. All levels welcome. Rain cancels. Continues through July.  

Performance: Zachary Fabri, Cinema of Volant Petals 
Free with admission to the grounds 
Registration is encouraged but not required; online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251

Cinema of Volant Petals is a new movement- and sound-based performance by Zachary Fabri commissioned by Wave Hill as part of the exhibition This Place We Once Remembered. A collaboration with a pianist, cameraman and cinematographer, the performance weaves together historical record, fiction and personal memory using flowers as a libretto. Responding to the architecture of Armor Hall, the work is at once a live performance and deconstructed film set. Flowers serve as narrative and symbolic devices that speak to our entangled relationship to the human and natural worlds and to the liberatory possibilities of flight.   

Close Encounters: Aquatic Plants for Fish and Friends  
Free with admission to the grounds 

Come “eye to eye” with some of the creatures and plants that call the Aquatic Garden home. Learn what our resident goldfish love to eat and who else they share their home with.  

Public Garden Highlights Walk 
Free with admission to the grounds 

Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide--come back for an encore; each walk varies with the Guide leading it. This walk lasts a half-hour to 45 minutes. Severe weather cancels.  

Summer Evening with Samara Joy 
$50 “Rain or Shine Ticket” (Premium; guaranteed indoor seating in the event of rain SOLD OUT);  
$15 “Shine Only Ticket” Still Available (admission to outdoor concert; ticket refunded in the event of rain) 
Advance tickets required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. Walk-up tickets cannot be guaranteed. 
 
Fresh off her double Grammy win—Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award—23-year-old, Bronx-born and raised Samara Joy returns to Wave Hill for a bespoke outdoor concert that’s not to be missed! With her Grammy Award Winning Verve Records debut, Linger Awhile, Samara makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation. Praised for “helping jazz take a youthful turn” (The New York Times), her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King, appearances on the TODAY Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, MSNBC, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Drew Barrymore, and more, in addition to millions of likes on TikTok—all cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star. 

This concert will take place on the Great Lawn. Visitors may bring folding chairs and blankets. Picnicking is permitted. The Café and Shop are open until 7PM. 

In the event of poor weather, this performance will move indoors with limited seating capacity. Ticketholders must have purchased a “Rain or Shine” ticket to be granted admission indoors. Ticketholders will be notified by email if the concert moves indoors and "Shine only" tickets will be refunded.
