WTDTW-20

This weekend, my partners at ArtsWestchester play host to an exhibit organized by the Westchester/Mid-Hudson chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

"Celebration of Architects: The Art of Architecture" features the work of almost 75 regional firms. It's on view today through Sunday in the Arts Exchange building's Grand Banking Room Gallery. There's also a panel discussion with five local architects at 2 p.m. Saturday. 914-428-4220, www.artswestchester.org

Meanwhile, WTDTW says "Happy Birthday" to jazz saxophonist Gato Barbieri, who'll be celebrating his 77th year with a concert at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Tarrytown Music Hall.
Says Barbieri of the occasion, sponsored by Jazz Forum Arts: "It's exciting that people are still moved when I play, and I consider myself blessed to have had fans that have listened to me for such a long time. They still do, and I'm still having fun."
For tickets and more information, call 877-840-0457 or log on to www.tarrytownmusichall.org. You might also want to check out www.jazzforumarts.org
Barbieri isn't the only birthday boy being feted this weekend: The Purchase Symphony Orchestra salutes Franz Joseph Haydn — 200 years young — in a concert tonight at Purchase College's Performing Arts Center. 914-251-6200.
On Sunday, take a break from music with a little art-making: From 1 to 4 p.m., the Bruce Museum in Greenwich is presenting a Calder Family Day in conjunction with its "Alexander Calder: Printmaker" exhibit. There will be a gallery hunt and workshops as well as a 3 p.m.interactive performance, "Calder Re-Wired" (right), which brings to life the artist's kinetic work.

Who knows? Maybe you'll discover your inner Calder. 203-869-0376, www.brucemuseum.org
