Join us on Saturday, June 8 from 10am – 3pm for this introductory workshop.
To register: https://forms.office.com/r/p97nSYZMhU
Bring your own lunch. Light refreshments provided.
Workshop description:
Interviewing guests is an essential podcasting skill.
How do we put our interviewees at ease even as we point a microphone at them? How can we structure our interview questions to provoke deeper reflections and help interviewees emotionally connect to their story? How do we ensure that our interview audio is clear and compelling and grabs listeners’ ears with nothing more than the phone in your pocket?
In this workshop, Glenn Patterson, an ethnographer and public-sector heritage worker, shares some of the secrets of oral history interviewing that he has learned firsthand over the last 15 years from veteran audio storytellers and radio producers.
This workshop is a partnership between Community Digital Arts Hub – CDAH and VEQ as part of the CDAH in the Regions project funded by the Government of Canada and supported by ELAN Quebec.

Come experience The Archive of Missing Things, part live performance and part contemplative game, in the Morrin Centre’s exquisite Victorian library. Equipped with an iPad and a headset, you’ll explore a maze-like archive in search of the secret at its centre, guided by clues in a live performance happening discreetly around you. Created by Halifax’s acclaimed Zuppa Theatre with award-winning writer Kate Cayley, this performance, alongside a digital book and game, presents a mystery that is beautiful, wistful… and sometimes even a little eerie.
This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Arts Nova Scotia, and Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

PRESENTERS
Based in Quebec City, the ensemble Duo Fleur d’Ange includes vocalist Angelina Lynne and harpist Yu-Fen Liu and was formed in 2022. They feel fortunate to have come into contact with each other during the pandemic and decided to share their passion for music together. Since then, the Quebec City duo has performed in the festival series Les Micros-Shows de Beaupré, in benefit concerts for the Manor Mauvide-Genest at the Église de-Saint-Jean-de I’Île d’Orléans, and at the Eastman School of Music in New York. Besides performing public concerts, they also enjoy performing for private events, such as for the lovely residents of the Saint-Brigid’s senior care home in Quebec City regularly.
Together, they represent a classic and angelic marriage of voice and harp, offering a multilingual repertoire of varied styles, from classical to contemporary, jazz, traditional and pop, that speaks to all ages and a combination of instrumental sounds that appeals to all. This musical duo will leave you inspired as they celebrate and share their joy of music!
ANGELINA LYNNE
Angelina Lynne is a versatile singer, musician, and educator currently residing on Île d’Orléans. A classically trained soprano, Angelina enjoys singing in many genres. She has performed in various recitals, concerts, and festivals in Canada and abroad, in the Middle East, Europe, New Zealand, the United States, and Mexico. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree, a Master’s degree in performance (voice), and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in music education at Université Laval. As a music educator and lifelong learner, Angelina’s passion for music has taken her across the globe. Passing on her love of singing to the next generation is paramount. She has served as artistic director and vocal coach for various musical theatre productions and youth choirs and in Canada and Belgium. She maintains an active music studio, teaching voice and piano in French and English. Her love of singing is contagious as she encourages people of all ages to use their voices and sing for joy!
YU-FEN LIU
Originally from Taiwan, harpist Yu-Fen Liu holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in harp performance from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, where she studied with Sarah Bullen, principal harpist of the New York Philharmonic and later of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Ms. Liu has performed with various orchestras in New York City, including a long relationship with Ureuk Symphony Orchestra, as well as with the City University of New York Contemporary Ensemble and the Young People’s Concert Series at Lincoln Center. She was awarded the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Certificate of Merit in 1993. In addition to her classical performances, she also offers a wide range of musical styles. Since moving to Quebec, she has performed with the symphony orchestra and opera studio of Université Laval, the Ensemble Lunatik, the Ensemble 27, and at different local and regional events.
