East End Jazz is proud to present “Generations of Jazz: Women in Modern Jazz,” a special concert honoring Women’s History Month. This extraordinary event will take place on Sunday, March 15th, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the historic St. Ann’s Episcopal Church on 2463 Main Streetin Bridgehampton.

This performance brings together a multi-generational ensemble of world-class vocalists and instrumentalists to celebrate the power of female voices in music. The program features a carefully curated selection of songs, each chosen by the performers for their deep personal meaning and ability to foster community connection.

“We are bringing generations of women together to share the stage and celebrate our history,” says Iris Ornig, Director of East End Jazz. “Each artist brings a unique perspective, but we are united through the power of music and storytelling.”

The concert features an impressive roster of “kindred spirits” from the East End and the NYC jazz scene:
