Open Workshop
CARNEGIE VILLAGE CHOIR
Monday October 31, 1pm-2:30pm

The Carnegie Village Choir Project is a community cultural endeavor with voice as its focus – particularly the singing voice. The village includes all ages and abilities, cultures and ethnicities and is for everyone who wants to contribute and explore their own voice and experience. Join choral leader Beverly Dobrinsky and members of the Choir in an open workshop where you can listen or join in if you’re so inspired. They are developing new repertoire including a Rap for Peace with Beverly’s son Nik Dobrinsky, accompanied by percussionist Russell Shumsky and guitarist Ken Tabata. Everyone welcome. Free

Cultural Sharing
ABORIGINAL CELEBRATION & FEAST
Monday October 31, 5pm-8pm
Carnegie Community Centre Gym
& Theatre, 401 Main
Culturally specific events bring a sense of belonging and camaraderie to an otherwise isolated and disenfranchised Aboriginal population. Carnegie’s weekly Cultural Sharing Program, now in its twenty-third year, offers First Nations people from across North America an opportunity to share cultural events such as Pow Wows, cultural trips, singing and drumming, and to make arts & crafts. This year we have a special Aboriginal celebration with dancers, singers and drummers from the Coast Salish Territory.
At 5pm First Nations dancers and singers will perform in the Carnegie gym on the second floor. Come early to get a spot, this will be very exciting. Everyone welcome. Free
At 5:45pm in the theatre on Carnegie’s main floor there will be entertainment with drummers from the Coast Salish Territory and a special feast to share. Admission is free but you will need a ticket, which you can obtain on a first come first serve basis at the Cultural Sharing group on the afternoon of Monday, October 24.
