Sunday Brunch with Yoko & Mikayla

Award-winning, chart-topping, DownBeat Rising Star pianist Yoko Miwa and her trio return to Jazz on Main, presenting material from her new release as well as from her critically acclaimed albums “Songs of Joy,” “Keep Talkin,” & “Pathways.”
Internationally acclaimed pianist/composer Yoko Miwa is one of the most compelling performers on the scene today. Her trio, with its remarkable telepathy and infectious energy, has brought audiences worldwide to their feet. Yoko was named a Rising Star Pianist in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 DownBeat Critics Poll. The Yoko Miwa Trio’s 2021 release Songs of Joy received wide acclaim and reached #1 on national jazz radio charts and was voted a best jazz album of 2021 in the DownBeat 86th Annual Readers Poll. Jazziz called it “a radiant new collection.” CD Hotlist said “…yet another triumph from one of America’s finest jazz pianists, composers, and bandleaders.” Their 2019 CD, Keep Talkin’, showcases Miwa’s fine playing and artful compositions, as well as the trio’s uncanny musical camaraderie. DownBeat gave the recording four stars, calling it “a beautifully constructed album” and noting “the drive and lyricism of a pianist and composer at home in bebop, gospel, pop, and classical.” JazzTimes also reviewed the album favorably, praising Miwa’s “jaw-dropping degree of technique.” The album enjoyed seven weeks in the top 10 on Jazz Week’s charts, much like its predecessor, Miwa’s 2017 release Pathways, which also made Jazz Week’s top 10 for several weeks. In a 2017 feature article on Miwa, DownBeat noted her “impressive technique and a tuneful lyricism that combines an Oscar Peterson-ish hard swing with Bill Evans-like introspection.”

The Museum has opened a new installation exhibit with Clixo, where visitors can play with over 1,500 magnetic Clixo pieces in various shapes and colors. Visitors can freely build with the pieces at tables in the exhibit or attach creations to the surrounding magnetic wall panels. Customized Clixo creations, such as hot air balloons and planes, are hanging from the ceiling. Additionally, Clixo building prompts and activity suggestions are placed throughout the exhibit to help visitors get started and inspire them to open their imaginations.
“We are thrilled to bring the fun and learning power of Clixo to the Westchester Children’s Museum and the countless families who play there every day,” said Assaf Eshet, founder of Toyish Labs and inventor of Clixo. “Clixo was created to help everyone unlock their creative potential by allowing for endless building possibilities. We’ve successfully brought Clixo’s creativity to many museums thus far, including the Museum of Art and Design, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Ice Cream, and the Liberty Science Center. The Westchester Children’s Museum is renowned for expanding arts and science education in Westchester County, and Clixo fits naturally into their STEAM exhibits. I’m excited to see what visitors to the museum will build, and I look forward to bringing the learning power of Clixo to more museums and educational facilities this year.”
Clixo offers a variety of building experiences for kids and adults, including classic packs and themed packs such as Tropical Birds, Dino Adventure, and Mars Rovers. Clixo is a 6-time Toy of the Year (TOTY) finalist and has been recognized as a top toy by Good Housekeeping, Parents, Toy Insider, and other notable organizations. STEM.org has also authenticated Clixo as an Educational Product.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Clixo to bring this one-of-a-kind interactive exhibit to the Westchester Children’s Museum,” said Jeremy Scalchunes, Executive Director of the Westchester Children’s Museum. “The Clixo wall creates an experience that blends creativity, engineering, art, and open-ended play in a way that truly engages both children and adults together. One of the things I love most about Clixo is that every visit can feel completely different, giving families endless opportunities to build, experiment, and connect. We’ve already seen firsthand how naturally this exhibit encourages imagination, collaboration, and joyful family engagement across generations.”

Audiences love her relaxed and inspiring vocal style and sets. “Jean’s voice blew me away,” M. Holmes, singer. “This production is at its best when Garner is on… she’s a gem,” The Pittsfield Gazette. “She was funny at one moment, then heartbreaking and moving the next,” Max Chuck, writer.

Workshop: “Is Your Teen Wearing You Down?”
2026-06-10 18:00 - 19:30 | 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains, NY, 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains, NY, 10601, United States
Bhava Therapy Group will host an in-person experiential workshop, “Is Your Teen Wearing You Down?”, at its Westchester office at 55 Church Street, Suite 415, White Plains.
Led by Amir Levine, PhD, LCSW-R, Co-Founder and Clinical Director of Bhava Therapy Group, this workshop is designed to help parents better understand teen development, navigate communication challenges, and rebuild connection during one of the most emotionally complex stages of family life.
Many parents find themselves feeling exhausted, frustrated, and unsure of how to reach their teen. Conflict, emotional shutdown, withdrawal, and recurring arguments can leave families feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. This workshop reframes those experiences not as parental failure but as opportunities to understand better what is happening beneath adolescent behavior and learn healthier ways of responding.
Participants will learn:
How teen biopsychosocial development impacts behavior and communication
How to recognize and regulate their own emotional responses during conflict
Practical strategies for de-escalating tension
How to communicate without triggering defensiveness
Ways to reconnect after moments of disconnection
“This workshop is about helping parents better understand both their teens and themselves,” says Amir Levine. “When we begin to understand what is happening beneath the behavior, communication can shift from reaction and conflict toward connection and understanding.”
The workshop is practical, experiential, and grounded in The Bhava Method, Bhava Therapy Group’s relational and embodied therapeutic approach. Attendees will leave with tools they can begin applying immediately in everyday family interactions.

Trombonist Al Cron leads a powerhouse quartet bringing together standout voices from the Boston and New York jazz scenes.

A longtime presence on the New England scene, he has performed and toured with artists including Aretha Franklin, Johnny Mathis, The Temptations, and the Artie Shaw Orchestra, and has released recordings such as The Prowl, Circles, and Roots.
Featured in the group is internationally acclaimed vibraphonist Hendrik Meurkens, one of the most distinctive voices on vibraphone and chromatic harmonica in jazz today. A Berklee graduate based in New York, Meurkens is celebrated for his vibrant blend of straight-ahead jazz and Brazilian influences, and has performed with legends including Ray Brown, Jimmy Cobb, Paquito D’Rivera, and Charlie Byrd.
With bassist Joe Fitzgerald and drummer Steve Johns, veterans of the NYC jazz scene, the quartet delivers a swinging, melodic, and highly interactive performance featuring original music, fresh takes on jazz standards, and inspired improvisation.
