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.
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.
Our Oxford Cambridge annual Carolling, kindly hosted by Brenda and Gary Mooney, will take place at their stunning, magical Christmas Wonderland of a mansion in Mississuaga on the 11th of December. Scheduled for a Friday night with grand piano and wonderful singers to lead the sing-a-long. Song sheets will be provided alongside enough food and drink to fill you with Christmas cheer for the entire season!
The event sold out quickly last year, so secure your places quickly! Please see the event page for ticket information.
The Canadian Friends of the London School of Economics (CFLSE), are pleased to be hosting Phillip Crawley, Publisher of the Globe and Mail, who will discuss “Economics of Disruption: A Media Story”.
Please join us for a cocktail reception followed by remarks from Mr. Crawley with a Q&A moderated by London School of Economics alumnus Jeffrey Dvorkin, former Managing Editor and Chief Journalist for CBC Radio and former VP, News and Information at NPR in Washington, DC, and NPR’s first news ombudsman.
