Description

Make the acquaintance of two of New Orleans' most beloved hosts and concert pianists, Michael and Quinn, who sure do know their shindigs.

From seasonal celebrations to iconic book clubs to lavish parties for friends, family, and charities (both local and national), Michael and Quinn have seen, done, and decorated it all.

Enjoy the pair's authentic sense of style and design in their lush home and garden while exploring the joys of throwing unique and personal events. The pages are filled with hundreds of delightful photographs captured by twelve renowned Southern photographers that showcase the abundance of Michael and Quinn's New Orleans Garden District home. Come away with hosting, interior design, and entertaining tips and tricks that even an amateur can execute.

Classical Shindig: Amateur Artistry from the Simple to the Sublime is complete with thirty recipes for every occasion, QR codes for recorded movements of their concertos given in support of community causes, illustrations by acclaimed artists Paul Cox and Tug Rice, and delightful stories all the way from Mississippi County, Arkansas, to the oak-lined streets of New Orleans. Between adventures in piano concerti with orchestras and entertaining New Orleans' natives, the British monarchy, and everyone in between--there's nothing these two won't do to celebrate their love of food, music, and people.

Critical Reviews

"[Michael and Quinn] are perfect hosts and Gentlemen, and their passion for anything British, Classical, Historical, and Stylish became abundantly clear--thus, we hit it off immediately." -Henrietta Spencer-Churchill

"Their gift for friendship is matched only by their belief in celebrating life itself with music, good food and wine, and equally good conversation." -Flora Fraser

"A DOCTOR AND A LAWYER walk into a truck stop. With their collared shirts and pressed shorts, you might expect them to go right for the Evian water and trail mix. Instead, they walk out with a dozen plastic mermaid dolls. What gives?" -Catherine Tillman Whalen, Southern Living

"Hosting is an art, and after flipping through Michael Harold and Quinn Peeper's new coffee table book, it's clear the couple has mastered it." -Michaela Bechler, Adore Magazine

"Get to know two of New Orleans' best hosts and pianists with the release of their new book Classical Shindig. Showcased within the pages are hundreds of photographs captured inside Michael Harold and Quinn Peeper's very own Garden District home, plus the duo's best-kept secrets on entertaining, hosting and design." -Atlanta Home & Lifestyles

"This book highlights beautiful components of Southern culture. Mississippi and Arkansas play prominently - as does New Orleans. -The Daily Mississipian
