3 p.m.. WAC Gallery Arturo O'Farrill, pianist, composer, educator and winner of the Latin Jazz USA Outstanding Achievement Award for 2003, was born in Mexico and grew up in New York City. In 2002, Mr. O'Farrill created the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra for Jazz at Lincoln Center due in part to a large and very demanding body of substantial music in the genre of Latin and Afro Cuban Jazz that deserves to be much more widely appreciated and experienced by the general jazz audience. His debut album with the Orchestra "Una Noche Inolvidable" earned a GRAMMY award nomination in 2006. Arturo and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra won a GRAMMY in 2008 for Best Latin Jazz Album for "Song for Chico" on Zoho Records. Tickets: $25 / $10 (college students) / $5 (children 18 & under).

Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat, was raised from the depths of Charleston Harbor and seen for the first time in 136 years.  An archaeological investigation of the Hunley's interior yielded a surprising item:  the identification tag of Ezra Chamberlin, a Union soldier from Killingly, Connecticut.  Did this Connecticut Yankee die on a Confederate submarine?  While telling the story of the Hunley, state archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni searches for the fate of Ezra Chamberlin.
