MusicaliTea By Jacque Bromm
Several lucky lodgers plus friends spent a delightful afternoon on Sunday, January 22 at the 2nd annual MusicaliTea, a benefit event for the Sierra Master Chorale presented by InConcert Sierra . Sweet music and hot tea, what could be better in the wintry cold of January? Sierra Master chorale members serenaded us in-between serving a delicious 3-course luncheon that included Curried Egg Capriccios, Scrumptious Scones with “Harpsichord” Curry and “Timpani” Tartlets, among other delectable finger foods. Local actor and playwright Gary Wright entertained us with oral excerpts from “Tea” related literary works such as the Mad Tea Party from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” Butch Thresh was so inspired he’s planning on revisiting Adams’ work. He is also going to practice drinking his tea with the “pitch-perfect pinkie pose” that Claire Manhart is so deftly modeling in our photo. We’ll expect more lodgers to join us for this fun-filled fundraising event next year!
