A Musical Dinner Party with a Twist

[Prommer]

So who would qualify? You have eight places, one for yourself and guest, leaving six.

Should one ensure gender diversity? Need one consider the social as well as musical qualities? Should one just invite the most interesting, irrespective, and damn the dynamic and the placement?

For me, Wagner would have to be there, whatever, but it could make for a disagreeable evening.

Please put this thread elsewhere other than under 'Performance' but a performance it would be...

We need players, composers, conductors, singers, even perhaps a critic?

[Zucchini]

My guest will be Lorenza Borrani, leader of the COE. Another six would get in the way.

Amen to that. I admire Mr Goodall hugely, but I suspect he would leave early, citing a rehearsal next day in Valhalla....

Really? You may need to broaden your horizons!

Anton Bruckner
Bernard Haitink

Indeed, we all admire Sir Reggie hugely

He may not leave early on account of my after dinner entertainment, the precise identity of which, the forum rules prevent me from describing. Suffice to say, the gender diversity would be in attendance!

We'll be fine, thanks

Anyway, I haven't named my guest yet........

PLUS are you saying you wouldnt want Debbie Harry at a dinner party ? Thats just silly.
