SUMMARY:Shelley Conducts Mahler’s “Resurrection”
DESCRIPTION:Gustav Mahler once remarked\, “A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.” And in his “Resurrection” Symphony\, the Austrian composer creates not only a world\, but an expansive universe of his own—pushing the boundaries of symphonic music with an apocalyptic work for massive orchestra\, offstage brass bands\, full choir\, pipe organ\, and two vocal soloists. \nIn these performances\, the NAC Orchestra\, led by Alexander Shelley and joined by early-career artists from the NACO Mentorship Program\, and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir\, led by Jean-Sébastien Vallée\, will take you on a spiritual journey that confronts questions of life\, death\, and what awaits us in the great beyond. The earth will shake\, graves will burst open\, and voices of heavenly splendour will banish death with Mahler’s joyous message of rebirth and renewal: “Rise again! Yes\, thou shalt rise again!”

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).

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)

It began on the life-sustaining riverbanks in the valleys of southern China as a fertility rite performed to ensure bountiful crops. The first participants held their celebration on the fifth day of the lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The race was held to avert misfortune and encourage the rains needed for prosperity. The object of their worship was the dragon. \nAlso known as Poet’s Day\, it commemorates the death of Qu Yuan\, a poet and Minister of State during the Chou Dynasty. Qu had protested against the corrupt government and was stripped of his office as Minister of State. He wandered about the countryside\, unhappy and dejected. When local fishermen realized Qu had disappeared into the river\, they raced out in their boats to save him\, beating drums to scare off the fish that they thought would eat his body. They also dropped rice dumplings in the water as a sacrifice to his spirit. The scene of the fishermen racing out to save Qu Yuan is reenacted every year in the form of dragon boat races. \nThe Festival At A Glance\n \n\nNorth America’s largest dragon boat festival\nEstablished in 1994\nOriginal Founders are Frank Ling\, President of the Asian Heritage Month Society\, Warren Creates\, Head of Perley-Robertson\, Hill & McDougall LLP’s Immigration Law Group and Mike Chambers\, President of the Canadian Olympic Committee\n\nStatistics \n\nA non-profit festival with free admission to the public\n15\,000 Attendees\n5\,000 Paddlers\n200 Teams in competitive\, corporate\, and community categories\n1\,500 Medals awarded\n25 Challenge Cup categories\nBreast Cancer Survivor Challenge and traditional Flower Ceremony\nRaces every 10 minutes\nA dragon boat is a slim 44’ racer with a dragon’s head at the bow and a tail at the stern\nEach dragon boat holds 22 athletes including 20 paddlers\, 1 drummer and 1 steersperson\nFree public parking at the Canada Post parking lot\nFree bike parking available on site
