Festive birthday dinner – 6:30pm
We will start with a fun quiz presentation — 20 Questions about Maurice Ravel — with interesting tidbits about Ravel’s life. The winner gets a special framed photograph of Ravel celebrating his birthday with friends in New York City in 1928.
At 7pm, we will celebrate Ravel with a fine Champagne toast and festive dinner while mingling with our artists and each other. The dinner will include dishes honoring Ravel’s Basque heritage specially prepared for us by a Spanish chef, plus a quintessentially French dessert from Balthazar.
