Jose Maria from Taberna Ultreia (see sidebar), sent me this article this morning… I don’t read Galician, but I can make most of it out… really nice… it talks about our visit to Finisterre, the end of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, and about our upcoming event, Pilgrimage, May 3, 2008, and how the people of Finisterre are going to send messages, images and a poet will write something and send it for the event.
The 90 minute event, Pilgrimage, an evening of music, dance, spoken word and images from the camino, will be held May 3rd, 2008 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. To date we have lined up, Daniel Lapp, the BC Fiddle Orchestra, Alma de Espana flamenco troupe, several poets from across the country and Spain, and we are just starting… we are hoping that Oliver Schroer will contribute something via video or email… he is just one of the people we dedicated our journey to, and he is the reason Ella brought her violin. This will be our final celebration of our Trek to Santiago de Compostela for the VGH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our goal is $30,000, and we are hoping to top it that evening.Please send a message through this site if interested in attending or contact the Victoria Hospitals Foundation for information on tickets.
Early May 2008, the final event for the NICU will be held. A ninety minute program, titled Pilgrimage, will take the audience on a short pilgrimage through live music, dance, spoken word and projected images. Location, date, time… T.B.A. keep posted or leave a message if you want to have more info
