As we prepare for St. Patrick’s Day, why not join us for an afternoon as the Celtic Fiddlers, a dynamic ensemble of seven talented musicians, take the stage to present "Celtic Tides."
This captivating show tells the compelling story of the Irish migration to Newfoundland, weaving together the rich tapestry of music, culture, and history that has shaped the unique identity of our province.
Under the direction of Korona Brophy, musician, arranger and teacher, the Celtic Fiddlers, formed in 1993 perform at a wide milieu of international, national and festivals and special events. Their travels have taken them to New York, Ireland, Isle of Man, Ottawa, and throughout the province.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Gemma Hickey, renowned author, humanitarian, and architect of change.
Gemma does not simply tell stories; they move systems. From quiet rooms to global stages, grassroots movements to halls of power, Gemma’s voice has challenged governments, confronted the Catholic Church, and amplified the rights and recognition of marginalized communities worldwide. Their art and advocacy rise from lived experience, razor-sharp insight, and a wit that disarms even as it demands attention.
In this candid conversation, Gemma reflects on childhood, gender fluidity, and a life lived beyond the boundaries others tried to impose. Anchored by the enduring love of their Nan, these stories trace a powerful arc; from vulnerability to resilience, silence to truth, survival to change, and show how one voice, spoken without fear or apology, can echo far beyond the room, changing lives, laws, and futures at home and beyond.
The event includes a live audience Q&A. Includes admission to the exhibition Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works.
Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
