CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: CANCELLATION OF 2ND CONCERTS CULINAIRES DE CHARDONNE
WELCOME
FROM JOHN AXELROD, FOUNDER OF CULINARY CONCERTS
Greetings, Bonjour, Grüezi, and Buongiorno,
Combining wine, food and music is nothing new.
What makes the Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne innovative is to artistically connect the best of each
in order to create a multi-sensory experience.
I have already organized Culinary Concerts in the USA, Spain and Italy. My goal, as a resident of Chardonne, is to encourage our audience and sponsors to support the talents of winemaking, gastronomy and music
in our commune and region.
GRATITUDE
I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Municipality of Chardonne,
the Society of Development of Chardonne-Mt. Pélerin,
and Jean-Luc Ducret
for their help and support.
My motto is:
Eat, Drink and Be Musical!
CORONAVIRUS CANCELLATION
CANCELLATION OF 2nd CONCERTS CULINAIRES DE CHARDONNE: DECEMBER 19-20
It is with a heavy heart that the organizers of the Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne have decided to cancel our 2nd edition, La Vie Céleste, scheduled for December 19th. We thank all our musicians, the soloists, the chef Mathieu Bruno of Là Haut, the winemaker Jean-Luc Ducret of "Le Parrain," our partners and sponsors, and our audience. We are working together with the communal authorities of Chardonne for a solution.
"With the increase in Covid cases, and the decision to cancel the nearby Montreux Christmas Market, it is becoming difficult to organize the 2nd Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne which welcomes so many people to the Riviera-Pays-d'Enhaut and the Lavaux region," said John Axelrod, Artistic Director of the Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne.
"Although the success of our recent Culinary Concerts of Chardonne, La Sérénade des Saisons, has been unanimously acclaimed, these current conditions and regulations unfortunately prevent us from presenting our next Culinary Concerts of Chardonne, La Vie Céleste. I cannot feel confident to financially and artistically meet the challenge. We still hope to find a new date that suits everyone to present this magnificent program and theme for our signature wine tasting, concert and gourmet dinner. The 3rd edition, La Poésie du Printemps, scheduled for April 3, 2020, with soprano Teodora Gheorghiu, featuring the music of Debussy, Copland and Strauss, readings of poems by Hermann Hesse, and the exquisite cuisine of Mathieu Bruno, will be the next Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne".
