A REMINDER
Dear Friend of the Society,
You are all welcome to attend the next Get Together, which will take place this coming Wednesday, Jan. 2, from 7.15 onwards in CultureClub (map attached).
Apart from being an enjoyable social occasion, with free snacks and drinks available at happy hour prices (after the first), there will be plenty of opportunity to practise your Spanish in a friendly, comfortable setting, as well as to hear a talk given by Tony on Mexican Christmas and New Year customs.
It would be wonderful if you could make it. There are always people there at 7.15, so don't worry about arriving early.
See you on Wednesday?

Next 2nd January Spanish Gathering at culture club.
Dear Friend of the Society,
At the Get Together on the 12 December we broke our attendance record. 35 people came together to practise Spanish! We enjoyed a wonderful talk from Amai on traditional Spanish Christmas celebrations. She also taught us a song which we sang with gusto, and no little enjoyment. In addition, the free snacks, coupled with the warm and friendly atmosphere, made it a terrific evening for all concerned.
Our next gathering will be at CultureClub on Wednesday, January 2nd. Tony, from Mexico, has indicated that he will give a talk on Mexican traditional Christmas and New Year celebrations. Some people will be out of town, but we hope as many of you as possible will be able to make it. The event really does seem to have a life of its own now, and is not just an opportunity to practise Spanish, but is also an enjoyable social event. Of course, this all depends on you - we need your support and willingness to participate.
Don't be worried about arriving near the starting time of 7.15. There are always enough people there at the beginning to get the ball rolling.
Just in case you might be a first timer, and there were quite a few at the last meeting, a map is attached.
Hope to see you there.
Saludos,
Chris Stubbs

Zarzuela with Aurelio Gabaldon. 6 th December
An invitation to an evening of Zarzuela with Aurelio Gabaldon
Music Beyond Borders: Spain Revisited
Thursday 06 December, 2007
Live recital in Studio One at 8:00 pm
Venue: Radio Television Hong Kong
Broadcasting House, 30 Broadcast Drive, Kowloon Tong
Zarzuela is Spain’s great contribution to lyric theatre, a special mixture of operatic and popular song, and
spoken word. Zarzuela is a blend of tears and laughter that portrays Spanish life in the 19th and early 20th
centuries. Zarzuela is rarely performed in Hong Kong. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience Spain’s
best-kept secret.
Aurelio Gabaldon was a student of world-famous tenor Alfredo Kraus. He has just been awarded First prize
in the Zarzuela category (male) at ‘Operalia’ organized under the auspices of tenor Placido Domingo. This
year, he also made his debut in Barcelona’s Liceo, one of Europe’s leading opera venues.
The accompanist will be Yolanda Vidal.
Co-presented by:
