Suzi Cordish, LaVon Kellner, Peter Olsen, and Barbara Tober request the pleasure of your company for our annual birthday celebration of LongHouse founder Jack Lenor Larsen with a midsummer evening of music in the garden featuring classical pianist and composer Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner playing Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and more.

Join us in the LongHouse garden for the concert and cocktails only, or continue the evening at RoundHouse with dinner following the performance.

With gratitude to Barbara Tober and the Acronym Fund for the ongoing, generous support of this annual concert. Special thanks to Ennius Bergsma for hosting the dinner.

About RoundHouse

RoundHouse and its gardens were built and developed by Jack Lenor Larsen with input and help from a large number of leading garden and arts and crafts designers. Over the last 30 years Judy and Ennius Bergsma significantly built and expanded on the original vision. The size of the garden, 10 acres, allows for great diversity while using “mass” plantings and two ponds to create serenity. It is a “multi room” contemplative garden with an exceptional array of great trees: one of the first China Metasequoias propagated at the Arnold Arboretum in 1949, a spectacular fern leaf beach, large copper beaches, a large Auracaria auracana (monkey puzzle), columnar maples, umbrella pine and many other trees.
