The Lost Afternoon Rugby Luncheon
The Lost Afternoon is pleased to announce that we are celebrating our eighth year on October 29, 2016 and registration is now open. Through your support the lunch continues to grow in popularity and this year we are pleased to open registration. Sponsored tables of ten are again $1000 while individual seats are $80.00. There will be an exceptional array of silent and live auction items to bid on, as well items that will be raffled off. Finally, expect quite a few laughs as well as the usual great time that this day always brings.
Dan Payne, CEO of USA Rugby has graciously agreed to attend the lunch and share with us his vision for USA Rugby. As a player, Dan was an Eagle who played in the 2007 Rugby World Cup for the US. In addition to playing for Old Blue of New York he led Old Mission Beach Athletic Club to a Super League Championship. Dan was an assistant coach for the US and head coach of both Life University and San Diego State.
Our keynote speaker is our first member from the Rugby World Hall of Fame to speak at the lunch. John Slattery, more commonly known to rugby fans as Fergus Slattery, will be joining us from Dublin. Fergus played for Ireland from 1970-1984 and captained Ireland eighteen times. When he retired, he was the most capped flanker in the history of the game with 61 caps. A two time tourist with the British Lions, including the storied 1974 tour where they beat the Springboks in all three matches, Fergus was also part of the Barbarians side in that memorable game in 1973 versus the New Zealand All Blacks.

Sunset Song
Based on the beloved 1932 novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon,Sunset Song addresses rural life in northeastern Scotland during the early decades of the 20th century. As the old ways fade—agriculturally, domestically, and politically—an independent, passionate young woman named Christine Guthrie (Agyness Deyn) comes of age while her family is ruled by a tyrannical patriarch (Peter Mullan).
“Terence Davies’s careful, patient visual sense brings out the Hardyesque nature of this story . . . this primal contrast of human suffering with natural beauty is a paradigm that persists in British social realist movies today.” —The Guardian (UK)
Read Film Comment's cover story here.
“Terence Davies hits a new high note with the gorgeous Sunset Song. Every new Davies film feels like a miracle . . . and Agyness Deyn delivers a breakout performance for the ages.” —IndieWire
“The most refined coming-of-age story cinema has seen in recent years.” —The Playlist

Virtuosi Orchestra Concert - Opening Night of the Season
It is with great pleasure that we send you information about the Opening Night of the Season Concert as we celebrate our twenty-first season of excellence in chamber music education and performance. The Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra is travelling to the UK as part of Virtuosi Around the Globe program in March of 2017 for a week.
We will be performing the same music at this concert as the concert in Chichester, England, when the whole orchestra and staff go to the UK. We will have 3 days in London for sightseeing and some master classes. Then on to Chichester University. Their Music Department is considered to be excellent and we will study and perform with the Chichester University students. This will be very educational and stimulating for our musicians as they are 11 to 18 years old! The concert will be performed in Chichester Cathedral where the composer of The Planets is buried and we are performing The Planets!
If your schedule permits your attending this concert we will be delighted.
