A few special nights per year, our team creates and presents an original five course dinner experience that explores the aesthetics of iconic albums and artists through flavor, texture, and emotion. Renditions Dinners include interactive chats and in depth course explanations by Chef Partner Dustin Beckner, the musicians on stage, and Nocturne co-owners Scott & Nicole Mattson.
In the weeks leading up to the Renditions Dinner chef Dustin and Scott dive deep into the selected music, using various melodies, themes, lyrics and related stories to inspire five original courses that are paired to a live performance of the works featured. Renditions Dinners have been covered by local and national media alike, and gathered a committed following of fans. ( See Linnea Covington's How to Pair Food with Music )
For our 28th Renditions, we're inspired by 1960's Italian style as we explore the evocative recording Rome (by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi) in addition to select spaghetti western film scores by the iconic Ennio Morricone. On stage for this special night we are honored to host acclaimed guitarist Dave Devine and his quintet as they conjure sounds of melancholy guitar, haunting vocals, groovy beats and etherial melodies.
