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 How can we use historical documents as inspiration for present projects?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