Event Description

Ladies and Gentleman,

It is with great pleasure that The Royal Society for the Promulgation of Classical Music and Opera will host its first ever event in the Paris of Jilin, Chang Chun.

It will be a sit down affair, where guests and lovers of the classics may dine upon fruits and cured meats, sup the sumptuous wines of Italy and France and come together in the realms of the musical gods.

Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Puccini, Vivaldi, Verdi and of course, Mozart!

There will be candlelit dinner with an antipasto spread, white table cloths and our own personal violinist to serenade the night away.

Please come along and enjoy this rare opportunity to experience a truly civilised evening at Grandpa’s Tavern.

Come and enjoy the music!
