Fergus O’Byrne – We Will Remain

Originally uploaded by John Guy2010

Muses & Minstrels – A Festival of Early Performing Arts
In addition to advertising We Will Remain – Patriotic Songs of Newfoundland, the shirt that Fergus is wearing describes the determination of Newfoundlanders to endure.  For four hundred years, through everything that has happened in Newfoundland and Labrador, and through everything that has happened in the world outside – we have remained and we have put down roots.  The music and preforming arts have always been a large part of life.  The Muses  & Minstrels symposium, held in the College of the North Atlantic in Carbonear on July 2nd, explored the traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador.  Presenters discussed how our culture has evolved through music, dance, theatre and other forms of entertainment. From July 2 – 11 events will be held all over the region showcasing many of the performance arts.
