We invite you to celebrate language and literature at a multilingual reading on February 24, 2023.
This multilingual reading is a celebration of International Mother Language Day (February 21), which was created by UNESCO to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
Cette lecture multilingue célèbre la Journée internationale de la langue maternelle. Cette journée, créée par UNESCO, vise à promouvoir la diversité linguistique et culturelle et rappeler l’importance du multilinguisme dans nos sociétés.
You’ll have an opportunity to meet renowned Acadian writers Jean Babineau, Herménégilde Chiasson, Dyane Léger, and others. Readings in French from their recent work will be accompanied by brand-new translations created by participants in a literary translation workshop. An open mic for writers and translators who work in a variety of languages will follow. To read at the open mic (February 24), please contact us at info@wordfeast.ca
Songs of the City will tell the transformative stories of four everyday people whose lives have been transformed through a United Way supported agency or program. Storytellers are paired with local artists to tell their stories through songs composed uniquely for this event.
Stories will be shared from Autism Connections, Meals on Wheels, Partners for Youth and Under One Sky Friendship Centre. Local musicians Judie Acquin, Wolfcastle, Dylan Ward (Marian) , Justine Everett (Les Chanterelles) and The Olympic Symphonium have composed new music exclusively for this event to tell the story of their impact through song. Our donors who support individuals and families in our community through the United Way Community Fund have made a lasting impression on these individuals and their families.
Donations to United Way of Central NB are changing lives each and every day in our region and we’re proud to present Songs of the City as a FREE event to all members of the community to experience this moving and impactful evening.
Songs of the City is presented in coordination and partnership with the Shivering Songs Festival and St. Thomas University.
*Please be advised this performance contains mature themes or subject and is recommended for ages 16+.

Irish acoustic band Lúnasa’s complex arrangements and unique sound reshaped the boundaries of traditional music, and have energized audiences the world over. Folk Roots magazine described the group, formed in 1997 from members of some of the greatest Irish groups of the previous decade, as the “Irish music dream team.”
One of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music, they’ve collaborated with Natalie Merchant, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Tim O’Brien and performed at the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and Glastonbury Festival.
Get ready for an energetic performance from one of the highest-profile traditional Irish bands around!
