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:Schubert’s Monumental Ninth Symphony
DESCRIPTION:The evening culminates in Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9\, often called “The Great\,” a monumental work that expanded the scale and ambition of the symphony. From its open\, spacious horn calls to its propulsive rhythms and exhilarating final movement\, the Ninth unfolds as a long\, gripping journey that steadily gains momentum before landing in triumph. Bold\, expansive\, and deeply physical\, it is a symphony meant to be felt as much as heard. \nThe first half of the concert turns inward\, opening with French romantic miniatures that explore love\, longing\, and vulnerability. At the heart of this set is Hector Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été\, a cycle of songs that reveals the composer’s most intimate voice\, tender\, melancholic\, and quietly intense. Mezzo-soprano Julie Boulianne brings warmth and emotional clarity to these deeply human reflections on love and loss. \nCompleting the French half is Ophélie\, an evocative symphonic poem by Mel Bonis\, an atmospheric work that heightens the sense of drama and emotion before the orchestra expands fully for Schubert’s monumental symphonic finale.
