Details:

Indigenous peoples from North America have long demonstrated a great sense of ingenuity, using nature as inspiration. The world we know today is influenced by their innovations and scientific knowledge. The exhibition invites visitors to experience the innovative processes that give rise to Indigenous knowledge by:

  • OBSERVING nature as a source of inspiration

  • LISTENING to bearers of knowledge

  • EXPERIMENTING with scientific principles

  • SHARING acquired knowledge by passing it on to others

This exhibition presents a clever and novel mix of science and culture intended to stir a sense of pride among First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities and celebrate the diversity, interconnectedness, and resourceful ways of knowing and being, that Indigenous knowledge and innovations provide in the global community.

Details:

Start the new year with Mozart Meets Beethoven on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 7:30 PM at St. Paul’s United Church!

Greet the New Year in style with the music of the immortal composers Mozart and Beethoven, written at the very end of the 18th century! Clarinettist E-Chen Hsu, violinist Katie Stevens, violist Patrick Horn, and cellist Peter Cosbey perform Mozart’s little-known, Clarinet Quartet No. 2 in E flat (an arrangement based on his Violin Sonata No. 28, K. 380, from 18 years earlier!).

Beethoven’s gracious String Trio in G, Op. 9, No. 1 and his playful “Duet with two Obligato Eyeglasses” for viola and cello put the strings into the spotlight. Patrick’s Horn’s short “Tunisian Tango”, arranged by him for this occasion, and “Oblivion”, a nostalgic tango by Astor Piazzolla, also arranged by Patrick, rounds off the evening.

Cost:

$15-$25
