SUMMARY:Geek Trivia
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?\nIs your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?\nIn social situations\, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?\nWe can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated\, but celebrated!Each week\, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality\, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month\, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for December 22: The Holidays! (please note there will be no Geek Trivia on December 29)\nBook a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.\nCost: free with purchase\, $9 without purchase (per person)

SUMMARY:Trio INK + 1: Schumann and Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Trio INK – the piano trio of NACO’s dynamic concertmaster Yosuke Kawasaki – returns to Chamberfest with special guest violist Kyle Ambrust for an evening of chamber gems by the famous German love triangle: Robert Schumann\, Clara Schumann\, and Johannes Brahms. Love is in the air as the programme opens with Clara Schumann’s Three Romances for Violin and Piano. One might assume she wrote these works with her husband in mind; in fact\, she did not. Clara dedicated the Romances to violinist Joseph Joachim\, with whom she later toured the pieces. \nTo close the programme\, we hear Robert Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major\, a work he did write with Clara in mind: she was the pianist at its premiere. The quartet’s third movement is widely regarded as one of its highlights\, with the cello theme in the Andante cantabile among the most beautiful of its era. \nNestled between these two works is Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor. While the precise nature of the relationship between Clara Schumann and Brahms has never been confirmed (and is perhaps beside the point) it is interesting to read Clara’s own words on Brahms’s genius: “It is not his youth that attracts me: not\, perhaps\, my flattered vanity. No\, it is the fresh mind\, the gloriously gifted nature\, the noble heart\, that I love in him.” \nTonight\, then\, we celebrate a love rooted in artistic admiration\, skill\, and creative brilliance. Whether bound by romantic or collegial ties\, these three composers left behind extraordinary works that continue to captivate audiences today.
