The Second Saturday Music Series presents genre-blending pianist, composer, and storyteller Katherine Nies for an evening of outdoor arts and entertainment. Nies combines classical, folk, and improvisation into a sound that feels both timeless and otherworldly, drawing inspiration from her mother’s Peruvian and Puerto Rican folk songs on guitar and her father’s late-night jazz piano, combined with a love of Celtic traditions and folklore. Guests are encouraged to bring their own beverages and picnic dinners to enjoy during the event, which features a lantern boat launch at dusk and live drawing and an art display by local artist Chicho Lorenzo.
Saturday 9/13. $5–10, 6–8pm. The Quarry Gardens at Schuyler, 1643 Salem Rd., Schuyler. quarrygardensatschuyler.org
