The Greatest Gala – CT Children’s Medical Center

Jessica Versland by an Auctioned Yamaha

What a beautiful feeling to attend and perform at Connecticut Children’s November 2 Gala and to support family-centered care, close to home. I played “The Greatest Showman” Medley that was fitting for the Greatest Showman Themed Gala. #TheGreatestGala #CTChildrensGala

Due to an overwhelming response from their generous supporters, the 2019 Gala was SOLD OUT in a matter of 2 weeks! 2019 was a record-breaking year for Gala attendance. There were 1,300 guests that filled their tables.

Playing piano for such a wonderful cause was thrilling and so exciting. The most exciting part was playing on a Brand New Yamaha Enspire DGB1KENCL 5’ Disklavier Baby Grand Piano that was auctioned off! Thank you to Falcetti Pianos for helping to make this happen. Funny how I met Tony Falcetti only 3 months before the Gala at the Hartt School of Music Piano Sale.

My studio families came out to support such a wonderful cause and they looked dashing! I’m thrilled to work with their beautiful and intelligent children! Thank you Kristina for helping me be a part of this event.
