the very talented Sweet Honey in the Rock.

Honey In the Rock, internationally renowned a cappella en-
semble, has been a vital and innovative presence in the music
culture around the world. Rooted in a deeply held commitment
to create music out of the rich textures of African American
legacy and traditions, Sweet Honey possesses a stunning vocal
prowess that captures the complex sounds of Blues, spirituals,
traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants, Hip Hop,
ancient lullabies, and jazz improvisation. Their collective voice,
occasionally accompanied by hand percussion instruments,
produces a sound filled with soulful harmonies and intricate

marinara sauce. All meals come with a side
of seasonal vegetables and rice. Your last course of the night
will be a chocolate lover’s dream – the white and dark chocolate
mousse cake is a melt-in-your-mouth treat. This restaurant has
a romantic ambience that enhances your dining pleasure.
After dinner we will head to the Long Center for our evening
with The Austin Symphony and Christopher Cross. Christopher
Cross, one of the biggest musical icons of 1980, virtually defined
adult contemporary radio with a series of smoothly sophisticated
ballads. His self titled debut albumwith the lead single, “Ride Like
theWind,” and other Top 20 hits, “Never Be the Same,” “SayYou’ll
BeMine,” ”Arthur’s Theme” and of course, “Sailing,” put him on
track to walk off with an unprecedented and record-setting five
Grammy® awards in 1981. Over the last three decades he has
recorded eight albums. Some consider the latest one, Doctor Faith,
to be Christopher’s finest work to date. Bring your valentine to
hear Christopher Cross with your Austin Symphony!
Ticket cost includes transportation, dinner, and concert ticket.
