Basel Tastemakers - Sandra Hueskes, Groovy 80s Jams

The English Show welcomed the irrepressible Sandra Hueskes, founder of Basel Tastemakers. Drawing on her years of experience in fundraising in New York city for The Public Theater, Sandra teamed up with the team at Theater Basel to build a bridge for Basel's expatriate community to experience and enjoy the world-class arts and entertainment on offer. Tastemakers offers a curated experience, suitable for English speakers and open to everyone. Every few weeks, Tastemakers organizes an apéro to highlight a performance, featuring special guest speakers drawn from the cast, production team or Basel's arts and entertainment community. It's a no-lose proposition when the cost to join is the price of a ticket to a great show! Check out her interview at this LINK.
