‘Gastronomic Symphony’ – a one of a kind, multisensory dining experience to arrive at Colombo’s dining scene this February, is a ‘must experience’ event which sets ablaze all five senses of Taste, Touch, Sight, Smell and Hearing through a unique culinary voyage of gastronomic experience elevated by music and, orchestrated by Jehan Aloysius. An evening of music and dramatic gourmet cuisine that will stimulate the senses, awaits the discerning bon vivant.

Food is evolving across the world, from just creating taste to stimulating dining experiences. Today an increasing number of restaurateurs and chefs experiment with smells, sounds, textures and other stimuli to show how ‘off plate’ elements play a role in the perception and enhancement of flavour. Sri Lankan palates are becoming more and more sophisticated and culinary offerings needs to reflect this change. As such ‘Gastronomic Symphony’ will take the diners on a journey of multi-sensory phantasmagoria of tastes and emotions through the blending of music and food.

Knorr Senior Brand Manager Sachi Fernando addressing a media gathering held to announce the event said, “Knorr is proud to present such a unique multisensory gastronomic experience which showcases the interactions between flavours, aromas, and textures, as well as music and theatre. We believe it will be the first of its kind ever to be held in Sri Lanka that will marry a culinary voyage of fine dining in an enhanced musical experience; an event not to be missed by both gourmands as well as music lovers.”

The musical and theatrical genius of Jehan Aloysius adds the magical dimension of music to the ‘Gastronomic Symphony’, taking the audience through a stimulating journey evoking a sense of nostalgia, fantasy and drama. Speaking at the media gathering, Jehan said, “Each element of the project is carefully crafted to perfection and enhanced by music to stimulate an emotional response.”

“We have brought together virtuosos performers from the world of music, opera, dance, drama, and gourmet cuisine; when combined they create a memorable dining experience that stimulates all the senses.” Performing at the media briefing were Kumudini David who sang ‘Summertime’, while Johanne Pieris accompanied her on the piano.

‘Gastronomic Symphony’ promises a ‘Sumptuous Feast for your Senses’ through a carefully crafted evening of gastronomic delights enhanced by music on 26 and 27 February at the Oak Room, Cinnamon Grand from 7 p.m. onwards.
