Our Evening
Concert at Ephesus, Kusadasi, Turkey
by
the Social Diary Health Expert Columnist Ruth S.

Column #15, August 3rd, 2006
Visiting Turkey, which Paul
(my husband) and I did in June, was fabulous. Being in
Istanbul for several days was exotic and exciting, but the event
that joined our lifetime-list of special events was the evening
concert that Crystal Cruises arranged at Ephesus. When
we arrived in Kusadasi, our first day was spent exploring Ephesus,
the largest site of ruins in the world, where, unbelievably only
ten percent of the ruins have been excavated to date.
Imagine what it was like to return to that
site in the early evening. The scene was set with dozens of small
cocktail tables draped to the ground in white and white-covered
chairs, tied with white organdy bows set up theatre style amidst
the ruins of the Grand Theatre, the whole area eerily lighted
from below. Imagine then what it was like to attend a exclusive
concert by the Izmir String Quintet playing Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn,
Mozart, Dvorak and Brahms to name part of their repertoire.
Although this extraordinary archaeological
site is normally closed to the public in the evening, Crystal
arranged a special opening for a private cocktail party and concert.
Consider then, if you will, the delights of this
ancient city and contemplate moments when leaders such as Cleopatra,
Anthony, and Alexander the Great visited this site.
