Puddingstone

Acclaimed violinist Geneva Lewis — a BBC New Generation Artist, Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award recipient, and Avery Fisher Career Grant winner celebrated for performances that “speak from and to the heart” — leads a string trio with Emma Wernig and Jay Campbell in Dmitry Sitkovetsky’s arrangement of Bach’s monumental Goldberg Variations.

The performance will be accompanied by live dance, adding a physical dimension to one of the towering achievements of the keyboard repertoire reimagined for strings.

Small bites and wine/refreshments included.

Puddingstone welcomes GRAMMY® Award-winning drummer and composer Dan Pugach and his nonet to the historic Redwood Library for an evening where music and image unfold together — as a live painter creates original work inspired by the performance in real time.

Pugach is a three-time GRAMMY nominee and three-time ASCAP Foundation Jazz Composer Award winner, whose latest album, Bianca Reimagined: Music for Paws and Persistence (2024, featuring Nicole Zuraitis), won the 2025 GRAMMY for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. He was also the featured drummer on How Love Begins, the 2024 GRAMMY-winning album co-produced by Zuraitis and Christian McBride, and his debut, Dan Pugach Nonet – Plus One (2018), earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Arrangement for "Jolene." His nonet and big band have performed at Birdland, The Blue Note, Smalls Jazz Club, and the Chamber Music America National Conference. He holds degrees from Berklee College of Music and the City College of New York.

Join us for an intimate evening of original jazz composition brought to life on canvas, in one of Newport's most storied rooms.
