​Please note the date change. Join us for an Outdoor Evening on Jazz Music on June 23rd at 7pm on the R.D. Parker Lawn (Pandemic and Weather Permitting). In the event of inclement weather, our alternate date will be June 24th. More details coming soon.

​Our 2nd (and hopefully last) Cabbies Award Show provides us an opportunity to honour our R.D. Parker Music Class of 2021 in a year without our annual Cabaret event.
​
The event will be live in the Letkemann Theatre for select guests on June 15th, before being premiered online for Family and Friends on June 16th.

​The event will be part Awards Show, and part virtual concert, as we wish goodbye and good luck to our Graduands.
