About the Musicians:
The Grammy Award-winning Ying Quartet occupies a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today's world. Now in its third decade, the Quartet has established itself as an ensemble of the highest musical qualifications. The Quartet’s performances regularly take place in many of the world's most important concert halls; at the same time, the Ying’s belief that concert music can also be a meaningful part of everyday life has drawn the foursome to perform in settings as diverse as the workplace, schools, juvenile prisons, and the White House.

Events & Programs
Special fabric remnants or scraps of velvet and silk have been delicately crafted into small pillows using the humble straight pin. Since at least the 17th century, they have marked courtship, documented weddings, and welcomed the birth of new babies. Bits and bobs of ribbons, beads, and sequins were used to adorn these simple cushions.
We invite you to join us to create your own special pin pillow. Choose to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, or birthday. We will inspire you with historic patterns from The Rooms collections and crafty examples to elevate your love of making.
The cost of the workshop includes:
- All materials with printed instructions
- A short presentation on pin pillow history
- Viewing of examples from The Rooms collections
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Register online!
