11 am: Art

The Santa Monica Museum of Art reopens at its new space at Bergamot Station with two inaugural exhibitions: Liza Lou’s monumental beaded environments “Back Yard” and “Kitchen,” and “Beck & Al Hansen: Playing With Matches,” a survey of mixed-media artworks by rocker Beck and his grandfather, Happenings/Fluxus artist Al Hansen. Lou’s domestic environments are made entirely of millions of tiny glass beads. The 600-square-foot “Back Yard” includes fruit trees, a rose garden, clothesline, barbecue, various bugs and nearly a million blades of grass. “Playing With Matches” will include collages, assemblages, drawings, photographs and audio and video materials by both Beck and Hansen.

* “Liza Lou: ‘Kitchen’ and ‘Back Yard’ ” and “Beck & Al Hansen: Playing With Matches,” Santa Monica Museum of Art, 2525 Michigan Ave., G-1. Museum hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Ends July 5.

The Boston-based Alloy Orchestra will perform its original score to Hungarian director Paul Fejos’ 1929 silent film “Lonesome” at the gorgeous Alex Theatre in Glendale. The orchestra has traveled around the world with this program but this is the long-postponed Los Angeles premiere.

7 pm: Family

Kids can get “stuck” all night on a sleepover at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits on Wilshire Boulevard. During their stay (with an adult) they can take a flashlight tour of the museum and cast fossils to take home for mom on Mother’s Day.

* Sleepover at the Page Museum, La Brea Tar Pits, 5801 Wilshire Blvd., 7 p.m. Saturday through Sunday at 8 a.m. Bring a sleeping bag and air mattress. An evening meal and a light breakfast are included. $40 per person for museum members; $50 per person for nonmembers. For ages 5 and up with an adult. (213) 763-3534.

8 pm: Film Music

As part of its sixth annual International Film Music Conference, the Film Music Society presents an all-Gershwin concert open to the public with performances from the trio of Page Cavanaugh (“Lullaby of Broadway”), saxophonist-film composer Bennie Wallace’s quartet with pianist Mulgrew Miller, actress-vocalist Stefanie Powers and other surprise guests. Noted composer David Raksin (“Laura”) will host. Reservations advised.

* The Film Music Society Concert, Jazz Bakery, 3233 Helms Ave., Culver City. $25. (310) 271-9039.

8 pm: Dance

Created using improvisational movement games and an assortment of unlikely props, the collaborative pieces performed by the New York-based male trio the Second Hand combine dance, comedy and acrobatics. The members are faculty artists-in-residence at State University of New York, Binghamton, where they met as students. But they spend half the year on the road, have a taste for incorporating used or shopworn oddities into their act (hence the group’s name) and are earning an international reputation for what the New York Times called “superb, even spellbinding physical control.”

* The Second Hand, Smothers Theatre, Pepperdine University, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu. $25. (310) 456-4522.
