Founded in 2001, Commonwealth Youthchoirs (CY) is a thriving music community of three programs, Keystone State Boychoir (KSB), Pennsylvania Girlchoir (PG), and Find Your Instrument (FYI) that empowers hundreds of children from across Philadelphia and the Greater Philadelphia region to find their voice – to express themselves boldly, and to strive for excellence – in rehearsal, on the stage and as a member of the community.
The Commonwealth Youthchoirs has long invested in building global citizens through culture sharing with other arts organizations across all seven continents. Come and hear them perform.
This is a free drop in event!

Today's Events & Programs
What can a scrapbook tell us about the lives of young women? How can we use historical documents as inspiration for present projects?
Viola Bown of Bell Island gave her father’s coal delivery ledger a second life by turning it into her scrapbook and titled it “Everywoman’s Notebook,” a scrapbook which can be found in The Rooms large archival collection. Filled with fashion illustrations and knitting patterns, Viola’s scrapbook offers a small but unique glimpse into her world.
Join us for a look at Viola’s scrapbook and a discussion about the process of using one of the patterns featured to make a cozy jacket and cap set from 1933.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
