About

the Collaboration

The 7 Deadly Sins is the fifth collaboration between Triniti's Chef Ryan Hildebrand and Mercury's Artistic Director Antoine Plante.  They first met through Hildebrand's business partner Chong Yi and his wife Faranak, both  significant supporters of the Orchestra because of the enhanced cultural environment it provides to to the city and for the educational program for young musicians that the Orchestra has developed.  

 

The creative symbiosis between Chef and Musician is an interesting process.  "In the past, the music has sometimes dictated the food and the food has sometimes dictated the music," says Hildebrand, who was a fine art major at Baylor before he became a Chef.  "The interpretation can be literal -- as in the Spring and Fall programs we did -- or more ethereal, as in the event featuring the music of Romeo and Juliet."
