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.
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 How can we use historical documents as inspiration for present projects?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.
