Cheese blogger and mezzo-soprano Veronique Kherian and San Francisco's own Cheese Plus present their third cheese pairing recital in a new lush, virtual program. This year’s concert features Les Nuits d’Eté by Berlioz, night-themed songs by Debussy and Massenet, and a curated selection of artisan cheeses and gustatory surprises. Collaborative pianist Margaret Halbig accompanies.
This is a virtual concert that will premiere online on June 17, 2021, at 7pm PDT. The event is a hybrid live/pre-recorded concert where each song in the program is accompanied by a specially curated artisan cheese. Ticketholders will have access to the event for 2 weeks following the premier. Ticket options include a $160 cheese-inclusive ticket (includes cheese for two people), and a $120 cheese-free ticket. Cheese can either be picked up at Cheese Plus prior to the event, or delivered to ticketholders.
WINE ADD-ON FOR PICK-UP ORDERS
A special wine accompaniment of two half-bottles selected by Cheese Plus's wine expert may be added for $30.00 to pick-up orders only.

Since then, she has tasted hundreds of different cheeses from around the world, met cheesemakers and dairy animals in the US and abroad, and walked among countless wheels of cheese. As a mezzo-soprano, she has performed in various operas and operettas throughout the Bay Area, including Macbeth, Pagliacci, HMS Pinafore, Candide, La Belle Hélène, and others. This opportunity to combine her two greatest passions delights her to no end! When she’s not singing, she can be found running her portrait and food photography business. Instagram: @misscheesemonger
