We’re going to start 2016 with a small variation on the usual pub night (January 26). Our friends at the LSE have organized the second annual Oxford-Cambridge-LSE alumni quiz night for the University Challenge bragging rights. We ask that people sign-up using Eventbrite so that we can plan the evening — please see the Events page for details. There’s a $5 cover which includes some snacks. You’ll have to buy your own beer (and dinner if you need more than munchies).
After work drinks at the Oxley
One last trip to the pub for 2015 – the Oxford and Cambridge after work drinks night is this coming Tuesday, 24 November at the Oxley from 6pm.
We won’t be meeting up in December (unless you’re going to Gary Mooney’s Carol evening) so come out on Tuesday and let’s put the year in review. The pub night is a great opportunity to catch-up on the Society’s events, meet old and new friends, and sample some great beers. The food menu has bar meals and restaurant quality dinners.
Acclaimed Tenor David Pomeroy joins COC Star Krisztina Szabo at University Club with Tapestry Opera
We are delighted to extend a very special invitation to members of the Oxford and Cambridge Club. COC mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabo will be performing at the University Club on Wednesday, November 11th to help celebrate the announcement of Jordan de Souza’s Conductor-in-Residency with Tapestry Opera. Jordan has already dazzled club members who witnessed his masterful conducting in Tapestry’s open rehearsal at the club last spring. He will be conducting with both the COC and National Ballet this season – truly a star on the rise. He’s also a pianist / organist, and he will be playing on November 11th. As for Krisztina, you only have to read the latest critic’s rave – this week from the Globe and Mail about her current performance in Pyramus and Thisbe – to see how her career is going!
The event will be Nov 11 at 6.30PM at the University Club of Toronto. For further details, including how to RSVP, please see the event page.
