You could try Dates[1]. It uses Evolution Data Server (the same thing that 
provides the calendar for Gnome), but just provides a calendar, without all 
the PIM cruft. It may provide the functionality you want:

  sudo apt-get install dates

There's also Contacts[2], which does the same thing for the EDS address book:

  sudo apt-get install contacts
