Miran Halen, Soprano, St. Louis Symphony: There have been so many wonderful events in St. Louis this past year that it is impossible to choose only one. The St. Louis Symphony Red Velvet Gala featured Itzhak Perlman, the legendary violinist who is inspirational to audiences and fellow musicians. It was an incredible evening, especially when he returned to the stage for his encore, the theme to the film, Schindler�s List. It was an unforgettable performance and an incomparable event. The Titanic Centennial Weekend was truly an event to remember. The attention to detail by Mary Strauss and her team was amazing�from the actors who portrayed actual guests to the wait-staff in costume. A memorable night! Finally, I enjoyed my second rock �n� roll concert, Sting, at the Fox Theatre. He was phenomenal; I found myself rocking to the music!

Titanic Centennial Dinner
Titanic Centennial Dinner Fox Performing Arts Foundation By Bryan Schraier On the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, guests gathered at the Fox Theatre to relive the last dinner served on the doomed ship. Guests mingled with actors and actresses in costume in the lobby as if on the dock preparing to board the great ship. At last helped onto the stage, the guests were seated before an ocean of ‘stars,’ enjoyed period music, speeches by personalities such as the captain Edward Smith, and an 11-course dinner, the same as was served on the Titanic a century ago. Proceeds benefit the Fox Performing Arts Foundation. The event was chaired by Mary Strauss, with Joan Quicksilver as co-chair.

Consisting of 11 courses and nine wines, the epic scope of this meal is part of what keeps interest in the Titanic story alive. According to Thom Johnson, director of food and beverage for Fox Associates, in today’s dollars, this feast, along with other first-class meals, would have constituted a $124,000 up-charge per person. Here are just some highlights of that fateful last meal:
