Due to the vacancy of the attractive IMAX theatre building
on the Western Fairgrounds and many months of researching
a complimentary use for the facility, the Western Fair Association
is thrilled to announce that an agreement has been reached
and the Western Fair Entertainment Centre will be home to
the London City Music Hall.
The Music Hall is a corporate partnership between the Western
Fair Association and London City Music Hall Inc. The Music
Hall is just one of a number of new innovative strategies
the Western Fair Association is implementing as part of
a strategic plan that focuses on the Association’s
core strengths, community and corporate partnerships. “From
our perspective the London City Music Hall will provide
a synergistic addition to our diverse Entertainment Centre
and meets the needs of our mission statement, to create
unique experiences that fulfil the evolving entertainment
/recreational and educational interests of our customers,
said Hugh Mitchell, Western Fair Association’s Chief
Operating Officer.
The Music Hall, which will be developed by Dale Henderson,
owner of London City Music Hall Inc., has the potential
to be a very important artistic facility for London, Ontario
and will blend industry, community, tourism and artistic
professionals within the local arts culture. “As performance
plans unfold and interested groups, businesses and artists
unite, the London City Music Hall will become a strong regional
attraction, inviting the community-at-large to become involved;
this will be a facility for the public” said Mr. Henderson,
Music Hall Manager.
“This project will get off the ground slowly as renovation
requirements, entertainment bookings and community partnerships
are developed. Businesses, theatre groups, entertainers,
and the like, interested in being a part of this process
and getting in on the ground level of this new community
venture, should get in touch soon.” says Henderson.
