KidLinks is pleased to announce the participating chefs for its ninth Annual Symphony of Chefs, which will be held Monday, February 25, 2019, at Sixty-Five Hundred in Dallas. Symphony of Chefs, an evening of culinary composition, is a signature event featuring some of Dallas’ most notable chefs. This year’s event co-chairs are Vinette and Mike Montgomery, Amy Pratt and Kaari and James Wicklund, along with honorary chairs Jenny and Tim Dove and honorary chef chair, Gorji. All proceeds will directly support KidLinks, a North Texas-based non-profit that provides healing, hope and happiness for children and families through therapeutic music entertainment and music therapy programs.
The intimate evening of just 250 guests will begin with an hors d’oeuvres reception at 6:30 p.m. featuring live musical entertainment, followed by a seated four-course dinner prepared table-side by this year’s featured dinner chefs and paired with wines from several vineyards courtesy of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. The Symphony of Chefs evening concludes with a spirited live auction of chef-driven culinary experiences and decadent dessert course.
