Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prize

Shape of proceedings

We arrange entertainment between each of the courses, and during desert and coffee, with each segment of entertainment representing one significant Nobel Prize. These are selected by the client, who may want to focus on some specific area - for instance, Nobel Prize winners from one specific country, or within one scientific area.

Each entertainment section begins with a short presentation (2-3 minutes) about the specific prize, fleshed out with some background about that era and finally a popular hit song from that time.

When it comes to the 1980s and 90s, major sport events will be mentioned, as well as issues of the day which will be familiar to everyone. After all, guests naturally will have their own memories from that time.
