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.
