Wine Cellar Dinner With The Dallas Symphony Orchestra And A Dutch Treat* (Value: Priceless)
This past December the Dallas Symphony Orchestra leadership announced that Karina Canellakis had been named the DSO’s assistant conductor. Talk about an impressive coup! To quote DSO Music Director Jaap van Zweden, “Karina won over the orchestra and me with her insightful musicality and command of the score. She will be a wonderful addition to our staff, and I look forward to her ongoing development as an exciting and inventive podium artist.”
In addition to holding a bachelor’s degree in violin from the Curtis Institute of Music, she earned her master’s in orchestral conducting from the Julliard School. The New York-born conductor’s career has filled the pages of her passport with performances in Berlin, Norway, Japan and Switzerland.
With such a busy schedule of fulfilling her Dallas responsibilities, as well as other performances throughout the world, it’s amazing that TACA managed to arrange this package!
It includes a four-course dinner in the Mansion’s wine cellar prepared by Executive Chef Bruno Davaillon for 10. The “host couple” will need not worry about ambling home. They’ll spend the night at the Mansion.
In addition the couple will also enjoy a three-night-stay in Amsterdam at the five-star Sofitel Grand Legend. During their visit to the “Venice of the North,” they’ll take a private excursion to The Hague and Delft complete with private driver and guide. And what is Amsterdam without visiting Museum Square? The couple will have access to the various museums including the Gerrit Rietveld-designed Van Gogh Museum and the newly reopened Rijksmuseum with its marvelous collection of Rembrandts. If the twosome decides to take their trip in the winter, they might want to take along their ice skates. After all the rectangular pond in front of the Rijksmuseum becomes an ice rink that Hans Brinker would have loved.
Suggestion: Venture to Amsterdam before din-din at the Mansion with Karina. Make sure you bring photos along of your Dutch holiday!
