A poetic journey in words, music, and image

Step into a deeply personal pilgrimage.

This auction package features a copy of Camino by Peter Coffman — a reflective and visually stunning book inspired by the Camino de Santiago — accompanied by a selection of fine art photographic prints captured along the journey.

More than a book, Camino is an intimate meditation on travel, friendship, music, and loss. Created in collaboration with late Canadian musician Oliver Schroer, the project traces a journey that is both outward and inward — one that continues to resonate long after the final page.

Inside the book:

• Lyrical reflections on pilgrimage and transformation
• Striking black-and-white photography
• A download code for previously unreleased recordings by Oliver Schroer, composed and performed along the Camino

Included in this package:

• One copy of Camino (hardcover)
• A selection of gallery-quality prints by Peter Coffman, exhibited in Montréal, Halifax, and Kingston and recognized with an Independent Music Award for Best Album Photography

Described as “ravishing” and “a gift to be treasured,” this collection offers a rare opportunity to experience a uniquely Canadian artistic collaboration that bridges music, literature, and visual art.

Perfect for lovers of folk music, photography, and stories that explore the deeper meaning of the journey.

A deep dive into a boundary-pushing Canadian folk legacy

This special collection brings together seven albums by Oliver Schroer, one of Canada’s most innovative and influential fiddlers and composers.

More than a performer, Schroer was a true musical explorer — blending traditional Canadian roots with jazz, Balkan, Scandinavian, and global influences to create a sound that was entirely his own.

This package holds particular meaning within the Canadian Folk Music Awards community: The CFMA Oliver Schroer Pushing the Boundaries Award is named in his honour — recognizing artists who, like Schroer, expand the possibilities of folk music.

Included in this collection are recordings that span the breadth of his work, from intimate solo explorations to richly layered ensemble recordings — including Hymns and Hers, which received the CFMA award following his passing.

Whether you’re discovering his music for the first time or deepening an existing appreciation, this set offers a rare opportunity to experience the full scope of an artist whose influence continues to shape Canadian folk today.

Perfect for collectors, musicians, and listeners drawn to adventurous, genre-defying music.
