An Immersive Solo Acoustic Piano Experience

with David Bergstrom


Saturday, May 31.
Doors at 6:30 pm, Concert at 7:00 pm. 

David Bergstrom is a classically trained pianist and composer whose music transcends genre and expectation. Blending elements of Neoclassical, New Age, ambient, and meditative styles—with dashes of blues and jazz—David crafts sonic landscapes that invite listeners into a deeply personal and transformative experience. With an intuitive touch and infectious enthusiasm, David weaves improvisation and intentionality into every performance. His compositions are more than music—they’re emotional journeys that awaken the heart and speak directly to the soul.


At the heart of David’s live performances is a unique offering: Under the Keys, an immersive experience that invites audience members to literally feel the vibrations and energy of the music from beneath the piano. This signature experience, described as Music Beyond Sound, encourages a deeper connection to oneself through the resonant power of live piano. David Bergstrom’s music is a portal—a gateway to inner exploration, healing, and joy. Discover his world and listen to his work at DavidBergstromMusic.com.

Cresta Alta National Film Tour ft. Todd Anders Johnson & Salem


Saturday, June 7th

Doors: 6:30 pm

Film/Concert: 7:00- 9:00 p.m.



Join us for a special screening of Cresta Alta, a compelling environmental documentary that follows a cinematic journey through Alaska, Iceland, Chile, and Peru. The film captures the beauty and urgency of glaciological research expeditions in some of the world's most remote and fragile landscapes. Through breathtaking visuals and a powerful narrative, Cresta Alta explores the critical intersection of climate science, sustainability, and human impact on the planet.


Following the screening, stay for a live Q&A session with filmmaker Todd Anders Johnson — an environmental storyteller and socially-conscious musician whose work blends activism with artistry. He’ll share insights into the making of the film, the scientists featured in the project, and the role of creative media in raising awareness about climate issues.


The evening also includes live performances by Salem, showcasing Todd Anders Johnson’s original music. His socially-conscious songs — many of which have been featured in prominent ski and snowboard films — will be performed both before and after the screening, providing a dynamic soundtrack to an evening of inspiration, action, and community.


Don’t miss this immersive experience that combines film, music, and meaningful conversation around the future of our planet.


Tickets: $30/GA & $25/GA Member.
