Words & Music is free and open to the community with registration! Join us on November 6 from 7:30-10 PM (doors at 7 PM) at the Wolf Performance Hall.

The event will be hybrid: you can join us onsite at Wolf Performance Hall or online via Zoom Webinar! Your registration here is good for either an online or onsite ticket.

In November of 2021, London stepped onto the international stage as Canada’s first UNESCO City of Music. Now local artists take the spotlight as London celebrates the fourth anniversary of the UNESCO designation. 

Over the course of the evening, our feature singer-songwriters will speak candidly about the art of songwriting through their personal experience and insight. We will begin with a discussion featuring 4 local songwriters who will explore how they transform thoughts, feelings, and ideas into lyrics and music. Our panel of artists will then pick up their instruments and perform intimate, scaled down renditions of their music, explaining how they wrote their songs and the meaning behind their lyrics.

London is a member of the largest cultural network on the planet and one of 75 UNESCO Creative Cities of Music. Music brings community together and through this designation, London is using music to drive positive change in our community.

Words & Music is sponsored by the Words Festival, the London Music Office, Tourism London and the Wolf Hall.
