Theresa and Andrew Roberts hand-picked an intimate group of classical music lovers and gifted them with the melodic voices of French soprano, Christina Collier and tenor, Gilles San Juan, at their fabulous Hanover Grange Villa at Tryall Club.
It was a Tuesday evening, and though uncommon for the start of the week, those invited were to asked to dress formal and rightly so. The women were glitzy and the men debonair.
The setting was perfect, and no Parisian or London theatre compared to the acoustics that the Roberts have put into their vacation home, which was obviously built for hosting only classy affairs.
Renowned for flying the Jamaican flag high in the UK and Europe, the Roberts last year presented a weekend of fashion with international designers to the stars Isabell Kristensen Christopher Childs and Natalie Talbott.
crËme de la crËme IN WINES
True to their reputation of hosting the likes of Ivana Trump, Nia Long and Nancy Dell'Olio, Roberts and her husband were en forme on Tuesday night, as they partnered with Rosh Marketing and Johnny Walker for the crËme de la crËme in red and white wines.
Organised by Richard Ferdinand, director of guest services at Tryall, the specially invited guests included Jeannie Robinson-Foster and daughter Ashley Foster, Patricia Henry, Karen Neita, Odette Dyer and son, Jelani Howell, Candis and William Craig, Melissa Chang-Ferdinand, Philipp Hofer and Tanisa Samuel, Chester Francis-Jackson, Catherine Goodall, David Annakie, Nasha-Monique Douglas, Dr Guna Muppuri, Rosh Ramchandani and Sonja Nalkiran.
