NOVA SCOTIA MUSEUM--THE HISTORY OF THE BAGPIPE ------------------------------------------------------------ When you learn that bagpipes are going to be the focus of a musical event, do you look forward to it with breathless anticipation or are you more likely to plan to leave the country for awhile? If the former, then mark your calendars for Sunday, Nov. 12, when local bagpipes enthusiast Glenn Coolen will be giving a free performance at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax starting at 2 p.m. In addition to highland pipes, Glenn will also be playing lowland pipes accompanied by Mark Currie and Rob Gordon. The stories and music brought from the old world by Scottish immigrants in previous centuries are likely to enchant all in attendance. Although there is no charge for admission, donations to the Food Bank are requested. -30- Contact: Gary Lunn 902-424-8793 trp Nov. 03, 1995
