Music

In a local debut, the early-music ensemble called My Lord Chamberlain’s Consort--featuring countertenor Drew Minter and lutenist Pat O’Brien--comes to the Church of Our Saviour in San Gabriel to present music by Dowland, Tallis and Byrd. The building, dating from 1869, resembles an English country church and includes a church bell from New England that was shipped around the tip of South America, and exquisite stained-glass windows--by Tiffany and by Judson--five of which were donated to the church by the family of Gen. George Patton.

* My Lord Chamberlain’s Consort, the Church of Our Saviour in San Gabriel in the Chamber Music in Historic Sites series, 4 p.m. $27-$35. (310) 954-4300.

Pop Music

Don’t tell Vikki Carr about any “Latin boom.” The pop singer released her first Spanish-language album in 1972, and since then has conducted a sort of bilingual career that’s ranged from mariachi to a PBS special on ‘40s and ‘50s hits written by Latin composers.

* Vikki Carr, with Carlos Oscar, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, 12700 Center Court Drive, Cerritos, 5 p.m. $55 to $65. (800) 300-4345.

Movies

“Solaris,” Andrei Tarkovsky’s chillingly poetic 1972 adaptation of the Stanislaw Lem novel about a Soviet space station where the cosmonauts are drifting into madness because of the huge, sentient sea outside, screens Sunday through Tuesday at the New Beverly Cinema. It’s one of the great science-fiction movies and one of the few made primarily for adults. Also showing is Chris Marker’s 1962 French avant-garde film, “La Jetee,” a 30-minute short told entirely through still photographs and voice-over, which inspired Terry Gilliam’s “Twelve Monkeys.”
