***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*** This year we have been working very hard on a very special project that will highlight the work and musical genious of the late Peter Frank Bernard of Wagmatcook. After releasing an album of his folk songs in 1979 he tragically died in a house fire in 1981 with plans to release another album later that year. Through the support of his family and the community we have organized 5 local Aboriginal musicians that have worked together with the very well known musician and composer Mr. Scott Macmillan to learn his songs and play them for everyone as a live concert during the opening ceremonies on the morning of October 11th as well as a full concert on the closing ceremonies on the evening of October 14 with a full dinner show from 7:00pm – 9:30pm. We ask you to spread the word and please inquire for more information
To view the video promo of our upcoming event, please view the following link: https://vimeo.com/184713983
As part of this music legacy project we have secured 5 local Mikmaw musicians that will be learning Peter Frank’s songs from his 1979 album, Souriquois Visions. With tremendous support from family we have worked on this project since January 2016 and this live concert is dedicated to this man’s wonderful music. His songs ring through the challenges and plights of the Aboriginal people of the 1970’s and how the Indian Act, governments and bureaucracy have impeded and destroyed cultural growth and protection of traditional knowledge of our people, history, songs, dances and more. It will be a great evening for all to share and join in on!!
