COME HOME YEAR

St. John’s native, James Hurley is a classical pianist with a passion for improvisation.  As a performer, James combines his love of classical and improvised music.  His solo work has focused on long form improvisations which are serene explorations of space and timing.  Since 2011, James has relocated to Germany.  A dream he’s had since he was a child became realized in 2015 as he opened Piu Piano, a live performance venue and piano school.  James has curated and presented dozens of workshops and concerts featuring respected artists from around the world. 

We are delighted to welcome James back home and to The Rooms for a magical performance.

Tickets are $34.50 per person (10% discount for Rooms Members)

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.

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join architects Philip Pratt, Charles Henley, and Paul Blackwood of PHB Group for an insightful and engaging conversation about the design journey behind The Rooms. Perched above St. John's, this architectural landmark—clad in local granite and wood, brushed aluminum, and sweeping glass—offers a stunning presence and panoramic views of the city and harbour below.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the minds behind the building’s bold and thoughtful design. Learn how vision, place, and materials came together to shape an enduring cultural icon.

Cost: $15 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
