5/2 – An Evening of Concert and Conversation with Peter Buffett
The Kent Bellows Studio and Center for Visual Arts proudly presents “An Evening of Concert and Conversation with Peter Buffett,” an event to benefit its programming and operation. Buffett’s Concert and Conversation serves as an entertaining and informative look into the life of a man with a truly unique upbringing. As the son of Warren Buffett, his open discussion about the things he was taught, the lessons he’s learned, and their effect in creating the man he’s become acts as a true testament that life is never a straight road.
