Salon culture has historically pushed artistic boundaries and fostered the exchange of ideas around pressing social, scientific, and political issues.
Salons are for the free exchange of stories, cogitations, and inspiration, often combined with music, art, readings from literature, or poetry.
The Events & Salon Series offered at The Plum follow in this tradition.
“I have been longing to build a vibrant community that brings together courageous conversations around the issues of our time, music, art, and ceremony with the vibe of a great dinner party. This longing only increased during the pandemic. So, I created The Plum, the perfect alchemical space for the Salon Renaissance. Join us and step into the conscious community connection we are all craving.”
– Sandra Bargman, Salon Host at The Plum
Buzz about The Plum
The Reviews are in!
Read below to see what they're saying about us.
"There was a time when this was the thing…
The making of music being a two-way street - a communication between artist and audience - more like a conversation than a performance. Or even a ‘mind meld,’ where the artist and audience were creating together.
An environment where this can happen is a pretty rare thing nowadays- someone must make it happen - but our Sandra has done it, created a place with all those things, especially the spirit, inviting all to be part of something special.
Love making music at The Plum!"

“WOW! Warm, welcoming, immediately felt at home. A bit like being wrapped in a warm blanket. The Good Rev Sandra has managed to create a performance space for both artists and audience to get and appreciate the best of each other.
Surrounded by personal family artifacts, from paintings, photographs on the walls to antique furniture, comfy sofas, tables and chairs you get the sense of being a member of the family. The stage space, sound and lighting were just perfect for the room.
There were moments of magic where we weren’t playing the music but the “The music was playing us” so looking forward to being back at The Plum soon. Build it and they will come! .”
