For every “Twist” performance, we pair the diverse setlists with Dazzle’s fabulous drink menu for the perfect pairings. Here’s what we’ve got for DPO With a Twist on Friday, October 19:
Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto for 2 Violins
Pairs with… Gazzera Pinot Grigio
Vivaldi’s Italian roots are the perfect opportunity to sip an Italian wine and enjoy some classic fare of the Old World. Try a Gazzera Pinot Grigio with a margarita pizza to set the mood for this classic, right down to your tastebuds.
Astor Piazzolla:Â Oblivion
Pairs with… The Onyx
Born in 1921, Piazzolla mixes a sexy Argentine tango with six string stars to spin your ears around the dance floor. Why not pick the perfect cocktail to go with it? Try The Onyx made with local Coppermuse black vodka, chambord, triple sec, and gold. Yes. Gold.
Manuel de Falla: Siete canciones populares españolas
Pairs with… The Victory
Spanish composer Manuel de Falla was one of the most notable composers in the first half of the 20th century. This lively arrangement weaves the dulcet tones of the cello with the soaring sounds of Spanish guitar. This cafecito con licor is the perfect after-dinner pick-me-up!
Stephen Goss: Welsh Folksongs
Pairs with… The Marquette
Hop over to the UK with Hayman’s London Dry Gin, spiced with cardamom syrup topped off with an effervescent prosecco — a perfect pairing for Welsh composer Stephen Goss’ traditional folksongs.
Stephen Goss:Â Park of Idols
Pairs with… The Chop Suey
Goss’ contemporary style paints many different pictures with his one-of-a-kind ways. When you look at all of the places he draws inspiration from — Frank Zappa, Cornelia Parker, Shostakovich — eclectic might come to mind. Pair this piece with the multi-faceted Chop Suey. This cocktail contains greenhouse gin, lime juice, locally-made Bougie ginger syrup, cucumber, basil, and topped with matcha-ginger foam.
Michael Marecak:Â Miniatures
Pairs with… The State
Dazzle does a great job of keeping it local. And so does the DPO! This composer lives in Denver and plays cello in the Philharmonic so try a cocktail featuring spirits from a local distillery like The State.
Mátyás Seiber: Irish Suite
Pairs with… The Rivoli
Pairing perfectly with this Irish Suite is The Rivoli—made with local Spring44 Vodka, limoncello, peach puree, and champagne collet. This cocktail brings ingredients from around the world—much like composer Seiber’s diverse repertoire.
