About the Global Music Series and CD
The Global Music Series began as a collaboration between the Association for New Canadians (ANC), The Rooms, and MusicNL, with funding support by Canadian Heritage’s Community Support, Anti-Racism, and Multicultural Initiatives program.
In 2023, Laughing Heart Music joined the team and the first Western Newfoundland Global Music concert was hosted. A year later, Laughing Heart Music and ANC were excited to begin recording a Global Music Album which aims to capture the spirit of the Global Music concert series.
Featuring immigrant artists who have found home in Newfoundland and Labrador, this album is a celebration of the many sounds that weave together to make up the diverse musical tapestry of the province.
Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jamie Baker (1974-2024). As a Senior Manager of Programs at ANC, Dr. Baker was instrumental in the creation of the Global Music project.
Produced and mixed by Louis McDonald. Mastered by Glenn Thomas.
Events & Programs
Being Present: The Architecture of The Rooms
The Rooms is a space where architecture and history meet, inspired by traditional fishing rooms that once brought communities together. Its design reflects the province’s stories—anchored in place, open to change—with each wing symbolically facing land, people, and sea.
Natural materials and bold colors evoke Newfoundland and Labrador’s landscape and spirit. Light, reflection, and shifting perspectives make the building feel alive, adapting with time and weather. This is more than a building—it’s a gathering place for memory, creativity, and connection.
Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the Cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow tour, there is something for everyone.
Each tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
Shirley Moorhouse – EYES
Join us for a guided tour of Shirley Moorhouse's exhibition - EYES, which features her innovative artworks spanning 30 years. Moorhouse is a respected member of the Canadian art community and renowned for her textiles-based wall hangings. Using embroidery, beading, caribou hide, and other objects on black wool stroud, Moorhouse tells stories and delves deeply into complex themes, inviting viewers "to reflect, to dream, and to celebrate the beauties and mysteries of life".
