CLASSIC WINES & CLASSICAL MUSIC: A MASTER CLASS WITH WINE AUTHOR MARNIE OLD & MOZART TRIO
Sun. Apr. 28, 2024 - 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Join one of the country's leading wine educators for a remarkable seated and guided wine tasting experience that pairs wines of German or Austrian heritage with evocative Mozart chamber music performed by a wind trio of clarinet and bassoon in the historic auditorium of the German Society of Pennsylvania. Discover the hidden history of how German-speaking regions of Europe rivalled the French greats in the 17th and 18th centuries and what these regions are best known for today, all while enjoying performances of ethereal classical music in one of our city's most under-recognized acoustic venues.
