VENUE NOTE:

As dusk falls, the Brewery Garden will transform into a gateway to a realm of magic and imagination. The evening opens with Paul Dukas’s iconic The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, a sparkling fairy-tale composition about the true power of magic, followed by the mystical El amor brujo (Love, the Magician) by Manuel de Falla, full of Andalusian rhythms, performed by mezzo-soprano Bella Adamová.
