This weekend, Cultural Cocktail Hour indulged in a scrumptious cultural recipe:

1 Part Gardens+ 3 Parts Shakespeare+ 2 Parts Wind Instruments

Merrie Olde England found its way to Los Angeles at the Huntington Gardens. Museum-goers wearing floral crowns frolicked amongst thespians who enacted scenes from the Bard. Under the refreshing shade of the Loggia, the Chamber Music ensemble Ceora Winds performed Shakespearean-inspired music, including Felix Mendelssohn’s ethereal “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”  As the winds played, an April breeze wafted through the trees  in blissful harmony.

Leaving the grounds, Cultural Cocktail Hour spied a golf cart amusingly named “Pinkie”after Thomas Gainsborough’s painting in the Huntington Gallery.

This playful little chariot looked like it had been left there by the mischievous Puck himself!
