November 1: LIVE JAZZ at the November Ichimoku-kai

It’s getting cold outside, but it’ll be a hot night with LIVE JAZZ at the Canada-Japan Society’s ICHIMOKU-KAI on Thursday, November 1st. Everyone is invited to join us for a great evening of cultural exchange, tasty Japanese food and drinks, door prizes, and lots of fun!

Ichimoku-kai (IMK) literally means the “first Thursday meeting” and since 1995 it has been the Canada-Japan Society’s signature monthly social event, naturally taking place on the first Thursday of every month.  It is a great place to informally network, make new and interesting friends, practise your Japanese or English, and – most of all – have a good time!  Usually, half the attendees are Japanese and half are Canadian, all with an interest in or connection to Japan.  Attendees receive special food and drink discounts and have the chance to win some exciting door prizes.

This month’s IMK will feature a live performance of some cool jazz, funk, R&B, poetry and improvisation by The CCDC-M Band (Chris Kao, Chris Hercules, Dennis Song, Chris Virtue and Martin Kuwawi and featuring YUKO). It is sure to be an unforgettable night – so come out and come early!
