Sunday, August 24, 2025 @ 3 PM – West LA + Livestream
A-Frame Theater at The Wende Museum
Pianist Gloria Cheng is a muse to composers from John Williams to Esa-Pekka Salonen. In this afternoon of music and conversation, Gloria shares stories, insights, and spellbinding performances in equal measure. With half the program devoted to dialogue and the other to a40-minute mini-recital, this is a rare chance to engage with a living legend — up close and unscripted. On the program: selections from Gloria’s album Root Progressions, including a movement from John Williams’ Conversations. This Happy Hour is FREE to attend and seats are sure to sell out ahead of time, so secure your tickets early before they’re gone.
