Silver City, NM — August 28, 2025 — The Commons Center for Food Security and Sustainability invites the community to celebrate connection, community, and resilience at the 4th Annual Gala in the Garden on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 6:00–10:00 p.m. at The Commons, 501 E. 13th Street, in Silver City.

We are beyond honored to have this year's Gala in the Garden sponsored in loving memory of Alex Olsen and Martyn Pearson. Alex's culinary arts lessons to students and bringing in families for movie nights, are remembered fondly. This year's theme, Gather & Grow encompasses looking at what nourishes us, even beyond food, and prepares us for a thriving future.

The Grant County Community Concert Association presents GQ (Gentlemen's Quartet) on Thursday, September 11th in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater at 7 PM. Described as a modern, elegant take on some of the most famous music written, they have developed unique arrangements of music blending the past and present into hauntingly familiar and beautiful melodies.

GQ features Peter Sachon on cello & mandocello, Matt Scharfglass on guitars & bass, Ben Saporito on drums & percussion and David Shenton on piano & violin. With over 10,000 performances from Broadway to major symphony orchestras they demonstrate to their audiences the versatility and unlimited possibilities of the musical language.
