The Arts Center at Duck Creek thrives thanks to a wide range of supporters—foundations, government agencies, and most meaningfully, the generosity of individuals from across our communities. This collective support makes it possible for Duck Creek to offer free, inclusive programming that uplifts artists, honors the East End’s cultural legacy, and brings people together through shared creative experiences.

COMING UP AT DUCK CREEK

THURSDAY, August 14, 6PM - Yvonne Rogers Quartet

RAIN DATE AUGUST 17
Yvonne Rogers - piano, Jonas Esser - drums, Kanoa Mendenhall - bass, and Stephane Clement - trumpet

Yvonne Rogers is a pianist, composer, and multimedia artist from Maine, now based in Brooklyn, New York. Described as a “Fresh, new voice on piano,” (Paul Acquaro, The Free Jazz Collective). She has performed at venues and festivals including the Jazz Gallery, Roulette Intermedium, the Blue Note, Mezzrow, Smalls, Bar Bayeux, the Kennedy Center, NYC Winter Jazz Fest, Jamboree (ES), Porgy and Bess (AT), Birdseye (CH), and the Rochester International Jazz Festival. Yvonne is a 2024 Next Jazz Legacy Awardee, a grant recognizing outstanding women in jazz founded by Terri Lyne Carrington and facilitated by New Music USA. Her debut album “Seeds” was released in 2023 on Relative Pitch Records and is available on Bandcamp and all other streaming platforms. She says “Seeds” is a practice in finding community, letting go of expectations, allowing ourselves and others the space to take risks, and welcoming the possibility that something magnificent might emerge. Yvonne’s work is rooted in improvisation and play. Growing up on the rural Maine coast, Yvonne began writing music that followed the meditative patterns and systems of nature before having any conventional understanding of theory or harmony. She carries this sense of creative abandon with her wherever she is in the world.

THE ARTS CENTER AT DUCK CREEK operates in the 19th-century barn once owned by abstract expressionist John Little, who in the 1950s, used this space as a studio and meeting place for artists in the then burgeoning art colony of Springs, East Hampton. OUR MISSION is to honor the spirit of John Little and his fellow artists by serving our community with FREE, innovative arts programs and supporting our participating artists.

HISTORIC DUCK CREEK FARM is an 18th-century homestead including a farmhouse built by the Edwards family, members of the original settlers of the Maidstone Colony now known as East Hampton. The property was purchased by the Town of East Hampton with *Community Preservation Funds in 2006. Its restoration and adaptation as an arts center was spearheaded by a group of local residents, who now manage the property and its programming as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation called The Arts Center at Duck Creek.
