Stories Behind the Music —
Music Social Club for Seniors (and All Interested!)

Stories Behind the Music is a music social club for curious listeners who want to experience classical music as something living and human. It began as a small pilot series and grew naturally through the interest and engagement of the local community. Through guided listening, storytelling, and live performances, we explore the people, emotions, and moments behind the music in a relaxed and welcoming space — no musical background required.

Upcoming sessions:

January 25th, 2026 - Classical Era

February 2nd, 2026 - Live Concert with a String Trio

March 29th, 2026 - Music of the 20th Century

April 19th, 2026 - Live Concert with a Piano Trio

Lullabies From Around
The World

A concert program by Anna Shabalina

This program brings together different threads of my musical life — classical cello, piano, voice inspired by jazz, bossa nova, and world music, and my recent rediscovery of lullabies through motherhood.

Lullabies from Around the World features my own arrangements for solo cello, piano, and cello with voice, gently exploring melodies that feel both familiar and newly heard. It creates a quiet, welcoming space for listening, imagination, and rest — for children and adults alike.

The program will be presented again on February 5, 2026, at 10:30 am at Alderney Gate Public Library, as part of the Halifax Public Libraries’ Shake, Rattle and Read series for young children.

Music Jam For Kids

An interactive music workshop by Anna Shabalina

Music Jam for Kids is a hands-on group workshop where children explore musical improvisation in a playful, supportive setting. Open to all levels — from complete beginners to more advanced young musicians — the session works with any instrument.

Through simple theory, listening, and guided music games, participants learn how musical ideas turn into sound and how to use them right away to improvise and play together — all within a single session. Curiosity matters more than experience.

The workshop takes place on February 28, 2026, at 2:00 pm at Alderney Gate Public Library, as part of the STEAM Team program.

🎟️ Registration required — limited spots available.
