Party at Wasabi Restaurant
I couldn’t let another day pass without posting this photo souvenir of one of my celebrity encounters of the summer.
EventBots had the honour and privilege of attending the esteemed and legendary violinist, violist and conductor, Pinchas Zukerman‘s birthday celebration. He is also the Music Director of Ottawa’s National Arts Center Orchestra (of which I am a huge fan). The very, very beautiful woman in the photo is the famous Amanda Forsyth, award-winning cellist whose music is genius. They are both unforgettable. They were also very sincere and gracious that evening when I shyly asked if they might pose in a photo with me. (Thanks Arthur for providing the camera and giving me the courage!)
Not only are they amazing artists, but they also have great taste in food. I understand they are fans of Wasabi Restaurant, the venue for the birthday party, and that they can sometimes be found at the celebrity hotspot after a performance.
On another note, I wanted to give a special thanks to Amanda’s friend, whose name I unfortunately didn’t get – but she was a great help that evening as I was overrun for photo requests at some point by the esteemed guests! She pitched right in to help with a smile, cutting and distributing our mini-photos like a pro.
