Virtual: Free College Admissions & Financial Aid Workshop

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>Register here: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ</a>

Admission is FREE and there is free parking and handicap accessibility. Doors open at 6:40pm, the event starts at 7pm, with a light reception to follow the music event. Sidney is an extraordinary artist whose career has taken him to some of the country’s most celebrated stages—but just as remarkable is the warmth, generosity, and humanity he brings into every room. This is an opportunity not simply to hear a world-class performer, but to gather around a deeply meaningful work that centers Black artistry, identity, and lived experience. Come experience an evening of exceptional artistry, powerful storytelling, and community. Bring a friend—we would love to fill the room for Sidney and this important work! 
About The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport&nbsp;
UU&nbsp;Westport&nbsp; is a diverse and welcoming religious community, free of creed and dogma, and open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We welcome all&nbsp;who are in search of a non-judgmental, loving, safe community to come together to explore what it means to be human and alive in today's world, and how we can best serve one another and those around us, near and far.&nbsp;
About the Artists
Baritone Sidney Outlaw has been described by The Washington Post as a "generous &amp; expressive singer", The New York Times as a "terrific singer" with a "deep rich timber," and an internationally acclaimed vocalist for his "weighty and forthright" singing (San Francisco Chronicle). Since winning the Concurso International de Canto Montserrat Caballe in 2010, he has performed widely in the US and abroad. In the 2024/2025 season, Sidney performed recitals with pianist Warren Jones at the Brooklyn Art Song Society and The Manhattan School of Music. He debuted with the California Symphony, singing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, and with the Bozeman Symphony, singing Mozart's Requiem. He also returned to the Jacksonville Symphony for Handel's Messiah. On the operatic stage, he reprises the role of Mozart in Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni with Pensacola Opera and Opera Philadelphia. Last year, Sidney released his album, Black Pierrot, featuring music by William Grant Still and Dr. B.E. Boykin, including the world premiere of 26 Ways of Looking at a Black Man, with text by poet Raymond Patterson (Commissioned by Merola Opera), which was recently nominated for a Grammy award. Sidney’s recent highlights include performances with Boston Baroque, Chattanooga Symphony, Toledo Opera, National Symphony and appearances at NYC’s Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. He currently holds voice faculty positions at the Manhattan School of Music, The Conservatory at Brooklyn College (CUNY) and Teachers College, Columbia University, where he is pursuing his PhD in Music Education.&nbsp;
Piotr Kozlowski is a versatile Polish pianist and educator with a strong focus on chamber and contemporary music. He is deeply committed to creative programming and to presenting classical and contemporary repertoire. A laureate of chamber music and solo piano competitions, Piotr has performed widely across Europe and North America. He studied at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and completed his doctoral degree in piano performance at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami, where he also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant under the mentorship of Kevin Kenner. As an Erasmus scholarship recipient, he studied chamber music with Avedis Kouyoumdjian at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. He held fellowships at the Bowdoin International Music Festival and the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance. Now based in New York City, Piotr maintains an active international freelance career. He has premiered works by Jonathan Howard Katz, Donald Scott Stinson, and other living composers. He serves as Staff Pianist at Manhattan School of Music, Piano Mentor at tonebase and has an affinity for Baroque, Classical and 20th-century repertoire.

Saugatuck Rowing and Fitness Club

Westport, CT – Westport tends to produce top-notch musicians. Many have moved away and yet many want to return when invited to come home. Such is the case with award-winning singer/songwriter Lisa Bastoni. Lisa, a Westporter who now lives in Northampton and performs throughout New England, is coming home. 

Rozanne Gates and Suzanne Sheridan, the creators of First Folk Sunday, had seen Bastoni perform at the 2023 Back Porch Festival in Northampton, MA. They were impressed with her songwriting prowess, her musicianship, and her connection to the audience. They took a chance and invited her to be a guest artist at First Folk Sunday two years ago and now she is back by very popular demand. Originally not knowing that she was actually from Westport, Lisa told Rozanne, “I know you both. I was just a kid, but I was at the anti-war rally you organized in 2001on Jesup Green when Suzanne sang. I thought she was wonderful.” So, on October 4, 2026, Lisa and Suzanne will be singing together on a few select songs. This will mark the 25th anniversary of their musical history. Truly a cause for celebration.
Bastoni has come a long way since 2001. She has had much success in the folk world. She is a 2022 &amp; 2023 New England Music Award nominee (Roots), 2020 &amp; 2019 Boston Music Award Nominee (Folk) and winner of 2019 New Folk at the esteemed Kerrville Folk Festival. In addition to her work in music, Lisa is a visual artist and teacher, and mother to two children. 
In March 2024, Lisa released her CD, “On the Water” and Eric Danton had this to say, “She’s an evocative songwriter who sings with the wisdom of someone who hasn’t always come by her insight the easy way, and the ache in Bastoni’s voice contains as much compassion as it does sorrow. It’s a powerful combination, whether she’s singing about two inexperienced youngsters in way over their heads — “just babies, having a baby” — on “Honeymoon in Disneyland,” or brushing away her own tears on the waltz-time weeper “Only Goodbye” as she explores long-distance yearning with earthy harmony vocals from Mark Erelli. On the Water isn’t heartrending all the way through: Bastoni lets a droll sense of humor show, too, particularly on “Let’s Look at Houses.” Co-written with Willi Carlisle, the song has a honky-tonk feel with bold steel guitar licks from Rich Hinman and lyrics about holding hands, reprising youthful lust and ogling houses out of your price range. Elsewhere, Bastoni celebrates getting out and never going back on “Hometown” (with harmonies from Kris Delmhorst), and choosing a path based on love, even as doubts creep in, on the muted “Cheap Wine.” 
Taking a vital stand and singing with a critical message, Lisa wrote “There Are No Kings in America” which has been sung nationally at many No Kings rallies. Suzanne Sheridan sang this song at the March 28 No Kings rally on Jesup Green in Westport.
All First Folk Sunday concerts take place at the Saugatuck Rowing Club, 521 Riverside Avenue in Westport. For tickets to Lisa Bastoni at First Folk Sunday on Sunday October 4 go to the First Folk Sunday website by <a href="https://firstfolksunday.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">clicking here</a>. The music cover charge is $20. Doors open at noon and the music is from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. An a la carte menu and open bar will be available for audience members. There is ample parking with overflow parking across the street at 518 Riverside Avenue.
