Now 29, Gessler is a world-traveling professional pianist and first-place winner in the Bradshaw & Buono International Piano competition. She debuted at Carnegie Hall in May 2014.
Gessler will perform at Holy Family, 7 p.m., Sunday, July 3. All are welcome to attend; a freewill offering will be collected.
Proceeds will benefit the Holy Family Neighbors’ Fund.
