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
Fishing for Cod
For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”
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.
Get your thinking caps on, settle in with some hot chocolate from the bar and get ready for some Holiday Trivia! Join us for an evening of questions inspired by the holiday season, history, geography, and culture of the province.
Teams of 2-6 people.
Cash bar available
Prizes!
Finish up your evening with a stroll through the building to check out the decorations on each floor and stop by the giftshop for some last minute shopping!
