What role did food play in classical music and, conversely, what role does classical music play in food? A colorful themed week around this combination.
Musical accompaniment influences our taste
Music and cuisine have already been considered in science. The Oxford Professor Charles Spence has, for example, in one Study proventhat music and taste are closely related and that taste can change through music.
The inspiration of music in the kitchen
To make cooking or baking even more tasty, it’s nice to listen to a little music while you’re at it. Master chefs from all over the world play music for inspiration and relaxation in their kitchens where star-rated meals are prepared. Music also has an impact on culinary creation.

At the opera: champagne arias and drinking songs
Eating and drinking after the opera – that’s normal. Perhaps out of date with the opera, but questionable in the opera. You can’t sing well with your mouth full.
“If you want to cook well, you need love, taste, patience and knowledge of the best. That’s what singing is all about.”
But still: physical pleasures are also an important theme in musical theater. Mostly with an emphasis on pleasure and definitely linked to the erotic.

Creole cuisine and early jazz
When it comes to early jazz and especially one of its centers, New Orleans, Creole cuisine is often used as a comparison – because, like music, this cuisine has its home in the southern states of the USA, more precisely in Louisiana, with very different influences , especially African American and European.
The famous “gumbo” (a stew), for example, consists of a wild mix of ingredients (seafood, poultry, sausages, vegetables, rice, etc.).
It’s about facts and myths about the early history of jazz in conjunction with an insight into the basics of Creole cuisine.
