Description

The Museum of Work & Culture invites the public to an upcoming event to celebrate the end of our Valley Talks series and the beginning of the month of Francophonie. Travel back in time to early 20th century Woonsocket for Musique at the Triple Decker, a café-style gathering where attendees will listen to 78 rpm recordings of French-Canadian popular music of the 1920s and 30s curated by recorded sound historian, preservationist, and francophile Ned Connors. Records will be played on an antique Victrola as guests enjoy wine, cheese, and other refreshments. Continue learning a little about the Québécois artists that made it down to New England with the return of Hollywood Comes to Woonsocket, which will be in the Museum’s rotating gallery for the entirety of March.
