Our theme for our concerts this year is Blanket of Snow: Our Community is a Quilt. Our concert is based on the common themes of friendship, community, and togetherness that exist within the cultural holidays that happen during this time of year. The intention of the performance is to share songs that feel cozy and warm. The song list includes Canadian artists, songs about snow, light, and being together.
It is called Blanket of Snow because we are centering the concert around the idea of quilting. Quilting has been a Nova Scotian tradition over many cultures for hundreds of years. The different patches were sewn together to create images that told stories or marked safe houses along the Underground Railroad into Nova Scotia. During WWII, Nova Scotia sent the first and the 1000th quilt to Britain to families who had lost their homes. Acadians were crafters and artists who created intricate quilts throughout the generations. Just like a quilt, the WBS community is bringing together many different pieces of the world and creating something beautiful.
