Curators of the Curious, we call upon thee! The astounding spectacle that is the Hendrick’s Gin E.L.E.V.A.T.U.M. reappears this June at the 40th edition of the International Festival de Jazz de Montreal, inviting the Curious to foray into the wonderfully unusual world of Hendrick’s Gin.
“We are positively delighted to return for a second year and share our world of whimsy at the 40th anniversary of the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal,” comments Jessica Mieczkowska, Canadian Brand Manager, Hendrick’s Gin. “Hendrick’s Gin E.L.E.V.A.T.U.M. aims to elevate the jazz festival’s auditory experience with an enchanting symphony of ocular wonderment marrying sound with spectacle, jazz with gin, and soar with score.”
Elevating the skies at the astonishingly peculiar height of 44 ¼ cucumbers (tethered at 44 ¼ feet), E.L.E.V.A.T.U.M. will take guests bearing the glorious gift of golden tickets on a magical journey skywards, sharing a peculiar bird’s-eye view of the festival often reserved only for our feathered friends in flight.
For those golden ticket holders enjoying the oddities of the unusual on the streets of Montreal whilst waiting for their flights to depart, the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge will feature sumptuous fare and celebration, including Hendrick’s Gin teeny-tiny martinis and mini teacup gin and tonics for those of legal drinking age.
The surprise and delight shall not end there for golden ticket guests however! Voyaging in from the East is renowned intuitive specialist Terri-Lynn Decker, who shall conduct one-on-one energy readings for those in the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge.
Voyaging in from the West is the worldly Hendrick’s Gin Theremin (also known in peculiar circles as the There-gin) on which thereminist Theadora Feu Follet shall provide sonnets of sound in the lounge while not placing even a hand on a physical instrument.
Voyaging in from the Southern parts of the unknown shall be the C.O.R.G.A.N. (Cucumber Organ of Remarkably Glorious Auditory Nirvana), a one-of-a-kind musical organ which consists of real, whole cucumber keys that create a distinctive jazz tone when touched. Combined, this travelling trinity of eccentricities shall create an unusual experience for golden ticket guests on ground as Hendrick’s Gin delights their senses while they wait to journey skywards.
Curators of the Curious have a chance to win the rare and coveted golden tickets by a variety of unusual methods including an online local contest (for residents of Quebec from May 16th to June 16th) as well as onsite at the Hendrick’s Gin Air Departure Lounge on Thursday, June 27thand Friday, June 28th, 2019. No purchase is necessary and entrants must be of legal drinking age in Quebec.
“Golden tickets are a rare and special gift that are bestowed only on a lucky few,” adds Alvin P. Ramchurn, Canadian Brand Ambassador, Hendrick’s Gin. “We look forward to entertaining, enchanting, surprising and delighting even more of the global audience that attends the jazz festival annually.”
The Hendrick’s E.L.E.VA.T.U.M. will be tethered in downtown Montreal during the 2019 Festival International de Jazz de Montreal on Thursday, June 27th and Friday, June 28th, 2019. Flights will take place in the evenings from 6:00 p.m. to midnight (based on wind patterns) and all guests bearing a golden ticket will have the opportunity to ride.
