This will be my first time in public reading Nellie’s very specific voice to others. Please join Tara, Tony, and me!

I am very excited to take my new chapbook, NELLIE: An Imagined History, with me to Booktoberfest 2024. I’ll be at Table B16 in the book fair, sharing a table with Carol Bruneau. I’m also very excited to meet the other 59 authors at the festival, and all the presses. I’m also leading a workshop, “Magic for Writers,” from 3-4pm, in the BMO Community Room (2nd floor of the Library). It will be a wonderful day — hope to see you!

Enjoy Trillium’s music while you savour a special Thursday lobster dinner or a delicious, wood-fired pizza. It’s laid back and upbeat all at the same time. (Note re Thurs exceptions: on Aug 8, 15, and 29, Eilidh Campbell and her wonderful Celtic group will be playing.)

10+ Nova Scotia presses and 50+ Nova Scotia authors who’ve published new books in the past year will be at BOOKTOBERFEST, a fun literary event second Monday in December in Halifax. 📕 I will be there in the book fair with my chapbooks and broadsides and a big smile 😊 , sharing a table with my friend, the writer and printmaker, VanessaMcKiel.

Trillium trio (Tricia Snell, flutes; Bev Shaw, violin; and Liam Britten, guitar) is delighted to play in the Wednesday-at-noon Music & Meditation concert series held in beautiful St. John’s.

If you need a mid-month (Ides of March!), mid-week, mid-day opportunity to relax and breathe during a gentle half hour of music, please join us! We’ll be playing a mix of classical and Celtic-style pieces.

On Winter Solstice 2022, Tricia played flute and sang with the St. John’s Chancel Choir, as part of the lovely Music & Meditation noon concerts led by music director / pianist / organist Barbara Butler (with Wendell Eisner conducting).

See you at the market! Trillium Trio (Tricia Snell: flutes + recorders + whistles; Bev Shaw: violin/fiddle; Liam Britten: guitar + banjo + mandolin + cello) provide holiday music at Lunenburg’s wonderful farm and craft market.

Back on!: Ongoing Sunday afternoons, 2-4, Celtic session led by Eilidh Buchanan of Buchanans House of Music. My husband Dave and I both play in the session regularly–come check it out! It’s an event to be enjoyed with your friends, family, dogs, and a locally brewed ale or hard cider from the fine Saltbox Brewery.

On a Monday night (6:30-8:30), if you feel like a very relaxed, socially distanced pub meal in a congenial atmosphere, with musicians squirreled away in the corner having a sweet time playing together, then this is for you! This is not a performance, but a very loose and informal Celtic session of friends playing together. Best to phone ahead to ensure we will be playing; various aspects of scheduling and weather sometimes interrupt.

Sunday afternoons (2-4) in Bridgewater: the place to be. Led by the wonderful fiddler Eilidh Buchanan of Buchanans Music in Mahone Bay, these Celtic music sessions are small (limiting # of musicians, due to covid) but still full of vim. Come for a beer and some fun.

Tricia’s 4-part poem, Les Filous de la Flûte, will be read by Tessa Brinckman at Brinckman’s “When Flutes Had Words” concert, including a performance of Roussel’s Joueurs de Flûtes (for flute and piano). Each of the four musical movements will be prefaced by one of the four poem parts, which invent new narratives for the mythological flutists (Pan, Tityre, Krishna, and Monsier de la Péjaudie) portrayed in the music.

Tricia reads as part of Savage Writers, a group of poets hosted by poet Claudia Savage.
