Now in its eighth year, our Financial Services Evening (FSE) is where culture meets community. Founded by leaders in the financial sector, FSE brings together 200 peers and colleagues to connect, strengthen relationships, and support the performing arts.
Guests will gather at Streetcar Crowsnest for a lively pre-show reception, complete with signature cocktails and playful interactions at our Tarot Lounge and Candy Bar. The celebration continues with mingling and a delicious, soulful menu curated by the culinary artisans of Piano Piano—setting the stage for a one-of-a-kind evening of entertainment.
Then the spotlight turns to the Canadian premiere of Dave Malloy’s Octet (the mastermind behind Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812). Blending razor-sharp social commentary with luminous choral harmonies, Octet is a darkly funny and deeply moving reflection on our search for connection in the digital age.
Join us at FSE and support Crow's Theatre, one of Toronto’s most prestigious cultural destinations!

Eight individuals. One support group. Only their voices.
Octet is a hypnotic, boundary-pushing a cappella musical about internet addiction, spiritual longing, and the fragile act of gathering in real time.
Awarded Outstanding New Musical (Lucille Lortel Awards) and praised for its “acrobatic musical feats and stunning harmony” (SFist), Octet is “a dazzling spectacle of sound” (East Bay Times) that will leave your guests moved, energized and ready to reconnect—with themselves and one another.
