with multiple strands…
Who’s In The House (WITH) aims to positively address inequalities of the people living in surrounding areas (eg Little London, Woodhouse, Hyde Park) where community arts and creatives outlets are few and far between.
This project is lead by Music House Creative Director, Christella Litras with support from Nekela Alleyne, Business Development Officer and pastoral care.
Who’s in the House reached an unforgettable milestone with our very first showcase at Leeds Playhouse! The three-hour event was an electrifying celebration of incredible talent, featuring jaw-dropping performances that had the audience of 800 on the edge of their seats. The energy in the room was contagious, leaving everyone feeling inspired, connected and entertained.

It was superb. An incredible array of diverse talent with so much warmth, heart and community spirit.
Well done on an exceptional night. We loved it – the highlight was the warm atmosphere of support.
We were touched by just how many artists of all ages, backgrounds and talents came together, not only to showcase their artistic passion but to drive and support one another. You have managed to create a real family with those you work with and the love was felt across both stage and rippled through the audience. The energy was electric and somehow we felt transposed to a different world with every act! Thank you for bringing people together in the space. Music House is a shining example of the transformative power music can take.
Keep up the good work nice to see how talent grows and can shine when given a platform
