Grammy Nominated Composer and Pianist Cheryl B. Engelhardt and Grammy-Next Music Producer GEM will be joined on the galleries outdoor stage by a VERY special guest for a LIVE performance of their new album "According to the Moon" - which is a sure bet for a Grammy Nomination this year. The album was recently nominated for "Album of the Year" at the 2025 Hollywood Independant Music Awards. Seating will be limited, so buy your tickets in advance using the QR code. The cost is $40 - Bring your own picnic basket and your favorite libation.
