Creating ordered list of next 15 events

We have FullCalendar in use on a community website. There are a large number of events and we would like to add a summary list of the next 15 events (by date). I visualise it being an ordered list with links to the details of the events - so basically the same information / functionality that appears for an event on the calendar but presented as a separate list. Is this possible? Any ideas on how to do it?

Yes, use an AJAX function to fetch events that way you can do two things: populate your calendar and use the same events data to populate some other DOM element.
