*EuroCircle private event*

Ah Italy! The land of gorgeous landscapes – and even more gorgeous people! Where food is an art and time spent good friends, family – and a nice wine- are sacred!

In the spirit of the holiday season, our friend Bruno Abate, owner of Tocco, would like to welcome us into his “home” for a true taste of Italy and lots of holiday cheer!

Join us @ Tocco for the launch of the “Italian happy hour” (Aperitivo) which will be a regular event at Tocco! We are so excited that we get to kick off the first aperitivo night with our friends from the AIC (associazione italiana chicago) and “Chic Italians of Chicago” groups- after a taste of Bruno’s food and a cocktail or two- you’ll swear you’re in Milan instead of Chicago!

Space is limited so please RSVP! Don’t miss out on the chance to be naughty or nice with us!!

DJ John Curley for our holiday tunes!

Look forward to seeing you at TOCCO!

I’m turning 25- again! 🙂 Come join us in helping a certain someone celebrate a birthday- retro style of course! It is our pleasure to invite you all, having been such a central part of the good times we’ve shared together over all of the years. And what better way to celebrate than with a musical retrospective, going back to the 80′s, when she first found her groove, purple hair and all! (you should dig up one of those old 80 photos)Take a step back in time with us at the legendary Neo Nightclub, to a time when the tunes were truly international, featuring everything from the Cure to Duran Duran and beyond.

No attitude, no pretension, and especially no over priced cocktails!
Just drop the magic word “EUROCIRCLE” for comp  until 11:30- $5 (half off) for EC members thereafter!!

Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR October 6-23, 2012
“…Rare beautiful music. The dense tone and luminous blend characteristic of Russian choral tradition…” -The New York Times

Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir was created at a moment in Russian history when full-scale spiritual life became possible once again after decades of persecution. Based in a 14th century monastery in the heart of Moscow, it continues the rich tradition of church chants — the uniquely sonorous singing which Russia has always been famous for. Alongside the daily Divine Services, the choir has taken on the mission of researching, arranging and interpreting early Russian music that was banned under the Soviet regime. Its repertoire also includes songs of the 20th century, most notably from the times of both World Wars, drawing on the full spectrum of Russia’s choral tradition.

A widely recognized and enthusiastically followed ensemble in its native country, the Sretensky Monastery Choir has performed at the Vatican, Notre Dame de Paris, Library of Congress, as well as a number of international music festivals.
