The New Zealand International Piano Festival continued on Thursday evening with an exclusive dinner/concert at Mollies Hotel.
This was a new format and a natural variation on the traditional food and wine match. After the entrée patrons were treated to two Chopin Nocturnes performed by concert pianist Diedre Irons which went down very well with the soup and sauvignon blanc.
For the main, I had a beautifully cooked scotch fillet washed down with a cheeky little Pinot Noir after which Diedre once again delighted us with the orchestral version of Ravel’s Suite “Le Tombeau de Couperin”.
The setting was perfect, the food divine and the music mesmerizing. What a fantastic night and I look forward to doing it all over again with David Lively next Thursday (14th April).
If you really want to treat yourself come and join us.
