À propos

Through facilitated workshops with local seniors of diverse backgrounds, singer-songwriter James Gordon has captured real-life Guelph stories, which he has shaped into songs, poems, and spoken word pieces through a co-creation process with the story contributors. This culminating performance of Gordon's 2023 City of Guelph Artist In Residence project will celebrate older adults and the tales they tell that help identify Guelph’s identity: ‘who we are, where we came from, and where we’re going.’
