It's the annual ROCA Christmas Party! Here are the details provided by the social committee:
What: ROCA Christmas Party 2017
When: Tuesday, December 19, 2017 @ 7 pm
Where: Party room at Edgewater Village condos, 3031 Williams Road, Richmond (by the pool)
Food: Bring your own tasty desserts and savouries for sharing. With the choir's performance of the Pie Carols, thoughts are moving in that direction.
Beverages: Coffee and tea provided. Bring your own other beverages of choice (alcoholic or not), and your own glass / mug / beer straw.
Odds and ends: There will be time for in-house entertainment. A few people have stepped forward so far, and more are welcome. (A strict no Facebook / Instagram policy will be in place.) Points may be given for courage in wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater (tm). Choir members can bring their red carol folders, in case a carolling mood strikes (and remember to dress warmly).
Gift exchange: To participate, please bring a wrapped gift of not more than $10 value. (Remembering that price is what you pay, and value is what you get.)
FYI! There's a big music sale at the UBC Music, Art & Architecture library in the Barber Learning Centre, Point Grey campus on Nov.22nd from 10am-3pm.

We are trying to find a date in December to hold a Christmas party for all orchestra and chorus members. It will be at the Edgewater Clubhouse on Williams Road in Richmond. It would be wonderful to get a big crowd together to celebrate not only the season, but also our sure to be awesome combined concert on November 4th. Please use this link to complete a survey of dates.
Thanks

This is a reminder to all chorus members that we are going to get Bill Myers to try to take an "informal formal" photo of the choir at this week's rehearsal, so please wear your concert dress for a photo at the break. He's a little worried about the amount of light, but hopefully it will work.
Thanks Cathy
We have 3 superb soloists performing with us at the November 4th concert, including Nancy DiNovo, the founding concertmaster of the world renowned Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. Attached are the bios of the three soloists, from which you may want to quote as you promote the concert with your friends and family. We have just one month to go, so let's get out there and sell those tickets!
We gratefully acknowledge our partners and sponsors for their generous support:
