Maestro Slatkin and Friends 


This architect’s jewel, built in 1924 and perched on 

a hill overlooking six acres of land on Lower Long Lake, 

reminds you of a bygone era. John Stahlin, a famous 

landscape architect of Henry Ford, commissioned 

George D. Mason, a well-known architect, to design a 

Grand Manor English summer estate. The home remains 

as it was built; the owners have been very careful to 

“only conserve” the history of this house. Join us for an 

unforgettable evening with Maestro Slatkin, friends, 

and food that will tantalize.

April in Paris 

Beverly Hills 

Welcome spring with the spectacular cuisine of Detroit’s 

Cuisine Restaurant. Paris-trained owner-chef Paul Grosz 

fuses contemporary French and American palates to 

produce intensely flavored and gorgeously paired foods. 

Our culinary journey to Paris leads us to perhaps the most 

intriguing figure in classical music history, Antonio Salieri. 

Court composer to the Hapsburgs, Salieri is often viewed 

as having hated – some say even poisoned – the young 

genius Mozart. While they were rivals, the truth is much 

more complex. Paris was a springboard for each. Mozart 

wrote his first adult symphonic pieces in Paris. Salieri’s 

reputation as an opera composer was cemented there. 

You have heard Mozart. You have probably not heard 

Salieri. Our musicians will sample their contrasting styles 

for you, as you imagine that you are in Paris.

May Day Celebration 

Bingham Farms 

In ancient Rome, tributes were paid to Flora, the goddess 

of flowers. In Sweden fires were built, and Old Man Winter 

was burned in effigy. In Bingham Farms, May Day will 

be celebrated at this spectacular, contemporary home 

nestled in the woods. The home is May-Day ready with 

walls of glass, so the view is tranquil and lush. The joyous 

sounds of beautiful music and fabulous fare will make the 

celebration complete.
