What an evening! Glorious weather, sparkling company, beautiful music, and excellent food made our Tripartite Gala Dinner at the Golf Club Grand Ducal a true summer highlight. Guests enjoyed drinks on the terrace overlooking the greens, and we were honoured to count H.E. Joanne Olivier, British Ambassador to Luxembourg, among us. After the drinks, we repaired to the banquet room and the evening began with a musical treat from Duo Natalia — Natalia van der Mersch (violin) and Natalia Kovalzon (piano) — who performed Gluck and Sarasate with beauty and fervour. A warm thanks to the Natalias, to Ambassador Olivier, and to all our guests who met up in festive spirits and helped make this a wonderful and memorable summer evening!
