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)

 

Events & Programs

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.

Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.

What magical creature will you create?

Drop-in program – no registration is required.
