‘Past and Present’ is an exciting project that will celebrate the vibrant, rich history of our music facility and the diverse musical traditions of our local community will be explored through the universal theme of music.

Led by heritage specialist Joe Williams, this two-year initiative will explore the history of the building, our neighborhood, and the vibrant musical heritage that unites us. Highlights include:

• Local Heritage Walks: Discover the stories of our area through guided walks.
• Heritage Group: Join fellow residents in researching and curating a photographic exhibition and digital collection.
• Collaborative Music Creation: Work with composer Christella Litras and poet Seki Lynch to create and share original songs inspired by our heritage.
• Community Performances: Celebrate with us at two heritage days featuring choirs and music that reflect our community’s spirit.

This inspiring project is designed to cultivate a sense of belonging, celebrate the rich tapestry of local pride, and connect generations through meaningful cultural experiences.

Open to individuals from our community as well as existing groups at Woodhouse Community Centre, it’s an invitation to come together, share stories, and create lasting memories. So, please join us on this exciting journey of connection and discovery!

We invite you to be a part of ‘Past and Present’. Simply secure you place and actively commit to being involved with this wonderful, organic project.
