NORTH CENTER — It's not every day a guy turns 258.
To celebrate Mozart's birthday Jan. 27, Julius Meinl is throwing a party in the composer's honor.
"A Night in Vienna" will include a prix fixe menu of Austrian-inspired fare and live music.
In lieu of an appearance by the birthday boy, the entertainment is expected to include a performance by Jim Cornelison, best known as the Chicago Blackhawks' National Anthem singer. In keeping with the evening's theme, Cornelison will tackle "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz" ("Yours Is My Heart Alone"), written for Austria's famed "Mozart tenor" Richard Tauber.
The dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Julius Meinl, 4363 N. Lincoln Ave. Cost is $40, not including tax and tip. To reserve a seat, call 773-868-1876, Ext. 5.
