FRENCH SERENADE (11/13)
Tuesday, Nov 3 2009 04:21 | Permalink
The Tokyo Sinfonia and I will will present not one but two of our patented hallmark Dinner-concerts during this month, November. This may sound like overkill. Believe me though that the two events are very different from each other, and intended for two different types of audience.
FRENCH SERENADE (11/13)
Friday evening from 6:30 pm
Our French Serenade at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan is designed to be very appealing and, please note, quite affordable. Just two weeks remain before this perennially popular event, but there are still several tables remaining. I have to apologise that really didn't get the proper notices out to everybody in a timely manner. I was conducting the Philippine Philharmonic in Manila and simply became too busy. Please accept my apologies! Do call us; you can still get in. Ask us to send you the event chirashi.
The FCCJ Dinner-concerts have long been widely regarded as splendid events for business entertainment or employee recognitions -- distinctly different, friendly, and memorable. A large part of our audience too always consists of groups of four or so (we get lots of groups) who want to enjoy a friendly evening together with nice food, nice music, nice people, and a cash bar. Plan to spend a delightful evening with a French menu and French music, courtesy of FCCJ Executive chef Paul Dodd and the Tokyo Sinfonia. Here follows the evening's programme:
Mushroom soup velote, followed by
Pelleas and Melisande (Faure)
Breast of beef braisé with vegetables du saison, followed by
Omphale's Spinning Wheel • Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (Saint-Saens) - Tomoko Joho, solo violin
Crème caramel with poached pear, followed by
Petite Suite (Debussy)
Coffee & tea
Enjoy the Tokyo Sinfonia with a friend; even better, with a group of friends. Kindly email us at tickets@tokyosinfonia.com, phone us at (03) 3588 0738, or order online at www.tokyosinfonia.com

AUTUMN BOUNTY SERENADE (11/25)
Wednesday evening from 6:30 pm
Our Autumn Bounty Serenade at The Strings by InterContinental Hotel is designed to be very elegant and, please note, very exclusive. And naturally the price point is quite different; this is an event not everyone will be able to afford.
The Strings by InterContinental Hotel, Moet Chandon, and the Tokyo Sinfonia are colloborating to present The Strings/by/Strings Autumn Bounty Serenade as an exclusive, elegant, Black-tie Dinner-concert supporting Refugees International Japan. It will be like nothing you have ever experienced before. Ask us to send you the event chirashi.
Recapturing the refined atmosphere of formal dinners of noble houses in the Age of Elegance, the evening's programme combines the most distinctive and delightful features of Tokyo Sinfonia offerings in a highly intimate setting – delectable menu, delightful music, distinguished audience, engaging presentation, excellent service, exclusive setting, and the richly textured surround sound of the full 19 strings of the Tokyo Sinfonia. Here follows the evening's programme:
Moet Chandon champagne tasting in the Retreat, accompanied by
Principals of the Tokyo Sinfonia
Crab meat and broccoli cake with basil tomato sauce, wines by Moet Chandon, followed by
Autumn from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) • Introduction and Allegro for Strings (Elgar) - Atsuko Mukaiyama, solo violin
Grilled Iberico pork with boulanger potato, lemon confit sauce, wines by Moet Chandon, followed by
Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso • Omphale's Spinning Wheel (Saint-Saens) - Tomoko Joho, solo violin
Cassis jelly with mixed fruits and cream anglaise with fresh berrie, wines by Moet Chandon, followed by
