Chocolate tasting at 5pm in the Green Room, Marin Center
Concert begins at 7:30

Join us for a fun, educational and slightly decadent pre-concert gourmet chocolate tasting with Leslie Harlib, food connoisseur and columnist for the Marin Independent Journal.

Make a light dinner out of our sumptuous finger foods and hors d'oeuvres. Then learn how to discern great chocolates from the truly superb as Ms. Harlib discusses the ingredients, mouthfeel and subtle flavors of a selection of high quality single bean varietal bar chocolates from around the world. So as not to confuse your taste buds, you'll cleanse your palate with fine port or lightly brewed oolong tea.

"Artisan chocolate is as complex in flavor and character as good wine," Ms. Harlib says. "It has almost as many notes as a fine musical composition!"

Port provided by Prager Winery & Port Works

Chocolate provided by Valrhona

Tickets $25 per person. SOLD OUT

Seating is limited. To secure your reservation, call the Marin Symphony office at 415.479.8100.
