Music Meets Culinary Delights
The Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich is teaming up with Zurich bars, shops and restaurants: anyone who shows a concert ticket* will receive products there that money alone cannot buy.
With a concert ticket* you can now not only enjoy music, but also exclusive drinks, recipes and cheese. Under the motto «In Tune With ...» we have developed specialities together with Zurich restaurants and shops that you can only buy if you present a ticket. To start with, we present five products – more will follow.
Bierwerk Züri: Gustav - the beer
When Elisabeth Harringer-Pignat, Peter McGuire and Seth Quistad are not in the orchestra, they are - among other things - enthusiastic beer brewers (or at least beer drinkers). Together with the professionals from Bierwerk Züri, they have now developed a beer called "Gustav" to match the current Mahler cycle. It is a Viennese lager, tasty and flavoursome. What makes it special is its woody note - which has something to do with the violin maker Gianmaria Stelzer, whose workshop is located in the Bierwerk Züri brewery.
The beer will be available in the tank beer bar in Europaallee from 14 November 2024.

Gelateria di Berna
White chocolate and passion fruit sorbet: this combination was chosen by violinist Vanessa Szigeti and percussionist Benjamin Forster for the ice cream that was specially developed for our "Zweiklang" series. A Swiss product joins forces with an international one - which is fitting for our orchestra, in which 23 nations are represented. The "Sinfonia di Passione" ice cream will be available from 27 July 2024 in the shops at Brupbacherplatz, Zollerstrasse, Röschibachplatz and Frau Gerolds Garten.

Chäs und Brot: «Romeo and Juliet» mountain cheese
Emmental cheese maker Beat Wampfler is convinced that music can influence the taste of a cheese. Chäs und Brot in Zurich Wollishofen is selling a mountain cheese that has been ripened to Tchaikovsky's «Romeo and Juliet» in a recording by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. Does it taste sweet? Or dramatic? In any case: harmonious!

Alfred von Escher: «Spaghetti Allegretto»
The delicatessen Alfred von Escher now offers a package with all the ingredients for Spaghetti Allegretto. The recipe for it was specially developed by the former head chef of the Camino, Lukas Strejcek. Among other things, he uses semi-dried tomatoes, capers, basil – and of course the most musical pasta shape of all: spaghetti alla chitarra.

Hermanseck: Menu in two movements
The Hermanseck on Birmensdorferstrasse now has a two-course musical menu on the menu: as a starter, there is the favourite dish of a famous composer – whoever finds out his name gets an aperitif or digestif. The main course is then based on Vivaldi's «Four Seasons» with seasonal ingredients.

Selection Schwander: «Cuvée Brahms»
Johannes Brahms conducted the inaugural concert of the Tonhalle Zürich in 1895 and still looks down into the concert hall from the ceiling painting. And: He liked wine, especially white wine from the Rheingau, where he liked to take long walks through the vineyards. The renowned Rheingau vintner August Kesseler now offers a «Cuvée Brahms» exclusively at Selection Schwander.
