Hey All,

We are thrilled to have KAIA String Quartet join us on Tuesday November 17 (in 5 days!) for our collaboration with The Dawson and Steinway & Sons!

KAIA strives to promote music from cultures all over the world in addition to the traditional quartet repertoire. Their current focus on Latin American composers has led them on many wonderful experiences throughout the country and beyond to Mexico. 2014 also brought about their debut CD album, Latinoamérica. Based in
Chicago, they have been welcomed to WFMT, Chicago Cultural Center, and many other local hotspots alongside multiple Grammy winners.





On Tuesday, they are presenting the following program for our "Giving Thanks for Music" event:

Beethoven Op. 59, No 2, Movs 1-2
Puccini Chrysanthemum
Piazzolla Tangos

What a treat to collaborate with them! It's an evening you don't want to miss. Get. Your. Tickets.



much love, more food, and even more music,

Forktalks: The Dawson

Hey All,

Here's some more info on The Dawson.  This is NOT your typical restaurant. Just look at it:


This space is amazing. Inspired by the Dawson brothers who owned a fireplace and mantle company, inviting and warm are built into every nook and cranny of this place. Once you come in, you just want to stay forever with a fancy blanket and a book. Kudos to Billy Lawless (the Gage, Henri) on creating a wonderful ambience to visit.


Now, let's talk about the food. The Dawson has gathered some serious press since its opening in 2013, including Crains, Chicago Eater, Zagat, and TimeOut Chicago, just to name a few. Executive Chef Shaun King and Beverage Director Clint Rogers clearly know how to make an impression.


How does this relate to BH? Well, we get to play here with KAIA String Quartet on Tuesday, November 17 (in 5 days). Yup, right in this room:



So, if you want to be like these cool kids:


eating a buffet full of things as tasty as this:


Better buy your tickets HERE. and NOW.

See you there!
