Musimelange launches its new season January 22

Musimelange was started by French violinist Ann Chicheportiche who wanted to recreate the tradition of the Belle Epoque where public figures, artists, writers and musicians were introduced to their friends in hopes of inspiring ideas and creativity. Musimelange combines chamber music, gastronomy and a wine tasting in what they call three Acts, all in the living room of an art gallery in the M building in Wynwood. Each month the musical group changes as does the restaurant providing the food. The first of the season is January 22 at 7:30 p.m. What they call Act I is a wine reception by Barton & Guestier in the garden, followed by light bites by Chef Vincent Catala of Ever Cool Miami, then the concert (Act 2) and dessert (Act 3).

The concert this month is by Violinist Anne Chicheportiche and cellist Ashley Garritson partner with bravado Russian-American pianist Konstantin Soukhovetski for a melange of masterworks, including Gabriel Fauré’s beautiful Violin & Piano Sonata #1 in A, Op. 13 – Mark Summer’s Juli-O – Johannes Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 1 in B major Op. 8, and a medley of surprise transcriptions for solo piano by Konstantin, of famous Madonna!

The cost is $55 when buying in advance and $65 at the door. A series of four concerts is $190. For more information and reservations, click here:
