Annual General Meeting Announcement - March 4, 2014


Notice of AGM
Vancouver Concert Opera Society
March 4th, 2014


Dear Vancouver Concert Opera Society Members,

2013 has been another fantastic year for Vancouver Concert Opera Society. In January we produced a international multi-cast production of Die Fledermaus to our audiences and in August, we completed our 3rd annual run of our summer training program (Vancouver Summer Opera Studio) which culminated in two successful student performances of Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro. We will be holding our second AGM since becoming a Society in late 2011.

At the AGM, members will be provided with a financial report, will be asked to ratify new additions to the 2014 Board of Directors. Members of the Society who are unable to personally attend the AGM can vote using the proxy form linked here.

Sincere best wishes for a prosperous, fulfilling new year, and we hope to see most of you on the 4th of March. Please see the details below.

Andy Maton, Chair
Vancouver Concert Opera Society

  1. How great post!! Keep sharing such great articles. Well, I am thinking to organize some fun team building events for my staff. I have been looking for some outdoor Boston venues for hosting these events. I wonder if you have ever attended any event in Boston!
