Consort of All Sorts gets it name from the title of a book by Canadian author and paint- er Emily Carr, who wrote a memoir of her life in Victoria, British Columbia in the early years of the 20th century. “The House of All Sorts” chroni- cles the daily life at a rooming house Carr ran for all sorts of zany characters. In the realm of music, “con- sort” is a somewhat antiquated term for a group of similar or dissimilar instruments or voic- es; a good match for this group of musicians and a name that allows for the addition of other instruments as they are needed. It also leaves open the possibility of exploring music from multiple periods. The Astoria Public Library is located at 450 10th St. For more information, call 503- 325-7323, email comments@ astorialibrary, or visit www. astorialibrary.org dinin g out H ERE!
