Nova Scotian, Rosalee Peppard (www.rosalee.ca) and her effervescent art are
truly unique: a maritime women’s musical oral historian, Rosalee collects and
transcribes an authentic living echo of the voices of Canadian women she
interviews and researches. She crafts their stories into “song portraits” and
shares them passionately and powerfully in her “hauntingly beautiful live
performance” (Halifax
Chronicle Herald).
Rosalee has received two Dr. Helen Creighton Folklore Research awards and a
Colchester Heritage Award for her work published on three CDs: “No Place Like
Home,” “Legacy,” and “Voices.” Her song, “Elizabeth Bishop” (on “Voices” 2011)
was created for EB100.
Rosalee tours internationally and
has just returned from Belfast
where she was invited to present her “LIVING TITANIC — A Musical Memoir Of
Atlantic Canada’s Only Survivor: Hilda Mary Slayter” at the 2015 International
Titanic Convention.

Rosalee will be performing for the first time at the
Elizabeth Bishop House during the morning of the festival.
