Essence of Austria – July 19
Join us for a special fundraising event full of Austrian charm, Monday, July 19 at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts. Our host is Jerry Horner, wine connoisseur and retired violist of the Fine Arts String Quartet. Adding to the ambience of the evening will be a menu with traditional Viennese flavours. Jerry Horner will introduce Austrian wines that he has chosen to complement every course. No evening in Vienna, the city where music is in the air, would be complete without wonderful music. Moshe Hammer, Guy Few, Mark DuBois, James Campbell, Suzanne Shulman and the New Zealand String Quartet will choose from the works of Léhar, Strauss, Kreisler and Mozart and will delight you with their performances. |
