100 Years of Music Windsor Federation of Musicians
The 100th anniversary of the Windsor Federation of Musicians will be recognized with a year long exhibit in 2011. The exhibit will open in February to coincide with Family Day/Heritage Day. A significant date that will be highlighted is June 23rd which is the official day that the Federation was incorporated. Work has already begun researching the history of the Federation of Windsor Musicians, their relationship to the American Federation of Musicians, the cross border nature of Windsor as a border city and the association of the Federation with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, Windsor Light Theatre, University of Windsor School of Music and the individual members covering every music genre and the local venues that have hosted (Elmwood, Top Hat etc.) music over the last 100 years.
The museum exhibit will consist of a series of video/oral histories of local musicians, photographs, objects and memorabilia. Another multi-media aspect will be audio and audio-visual recordings of concerts that have taken place over the years in and around Windsor.
