To learn about becoming a Cliff Dwellers arts club member:
Celebrate the spirit of Marcel Proust, the French novelist, one of the most influential authors of the 20th century, who wrote In Search of Lost Time. Our cocktail hour and after dinner entertainment will be the music of a French salon, including Faure, Saint-Saens, and Chopin, presented by noted pianist Saori Chiba and Cliff Dwellers 2007 Artist-in-Residence Nora Williams, as we explore the nuances and romantic impressionism of the music of Proust’s time. Followed by a gourmet French dinner, with the choice of either Filet of Sole or Boeuf Bourguignon, and of course a few madeleines for desert. We will have another short performance during desert, we will hear about Proust from Professor Rosina Neginsky, Cliff Dwellers member 2019, a noted literary and art scholar, and have a few readings from his work as we transport ourselves back to another time, Paris of the early 20th century.
