So, how was the Symphony last night? That question is being asked this morning in Grinnell’s Mayflower Community. Making arrangements to “attend” the Des Moines Symphony virtual-streamed performance on Thursday evening, February 11th, Mayflower offered up an appetizer and wine selection accompaniment.
Entitled “Past and Present,” the Symphony performance was a study in historical and current pieces from Haydn and Saint-Georges to Jessie Montgomery’s modern, multicultural tribute to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
The Mayflower tasting menu was an appetizer and dessert box including smoked salmon napoleon with crème fraiche; stuffed cherry tomato with feta, bacon, and green onion; and topped off with flourless chocolate cake under a rosemary ganache. The two different wine pairings complementing the menu were Chenin Blanc and Chianti.
Sampling and viewing took place in about 30 Mayflower households.
