An immersive journey of music and wine

Transcending the realm of sound, Ida Pelliccioli invites you to a global sensory experience revealing the connections between the compositional process of classical composers and the art of wine-making.

The blueprint of this explorative path is the theme of "Introspection" - a concept of self-reflective approach made with purity and authenticity. Casting the light on the essence, the origin, the truth, the core of things, these are the common attributes of the pieces and fine wines Ida Pelliccioli has paired for you. 

Through this unique event and a conceptual understanding of both worlds, the audience will be introduced to a deepest spectrum of approaches to tasting and listening. 

This evening's magic is heightened by the exquisite wine pairings crafted exclusively for this concert by Ida Pelliccioli. A sommelier-in training with a WSET Level 2 certificate, Ida has carefully selected three wines that echo the emotional tones and creative processes of each musical work. These pairings are uniquely designed for this event, reflecting both its context and spirit. Her approach was enriched through guidance from renowned experts, sommelier journalist Gérald Olivier and Philippe Faure-Brac, the 1992 World's Best Sommelier, ensuring that each sip resonates with the same depth and craftmanship as the performances themselves.
