Coming to the city next week: cool events to know about?

This promises to be a great show. Edwin is a musical genius, Jerry Mercer is from Mashmakhan and April Wine, and I've heard some of the others play.

Sadly, I have to work, but you should check it out.

There's a Christmas Concert at the Segal Center for the Performing Arts tonight, by the Panday Tinig choir. It's a fundraiser for the Philippines. It starts at 7:30.
I've seen them before, at the Oscar Peterson Hall, and they're absolutely wonderful!
Refreshments will be served.
Mitsumi Takahashi will be there to give a little opening speech. She's at all their shows.
Hope to see you there!

Where is the best New Year's event?

Also, where should I go skiing as a beginner skier?

Thanks!
