Felix
This year, The Peninsula Hong Kong is joining hands with French May – the cultural event celebrating all things French – to bring in the highly acclaimed Keren Ann and Debussy String Quartet for an exclusive one-hour performance, followed by dinner at the Grande Dame’s famed top-floor Felix, in celebration of the festival’s 30th year in Hong Kong and the hotel’s 95th anniversary.
Taking place on 24 June for one night only, the “Une Soirée en Musique” will begin at 4:30pm with creative welcome drinks curated by head mixologist François Cavelier. Keren Ann and the Debussy String Quartet will then take the stage at 5:00 pm with all-new original versions of classics such as “Not Going Anywhere”, “Strange Weather” and “Jardin d’Hiver”, before handing the spotlight over to Felix’s newly appointed and highly celebrated French chef de cuisine, Aurélie Altemaire, and her five-course feast exquisitely paired with fine wines handpicked by another French national, chef sommelier Marc Le Gallic.
