Each school year, the nutrition program called Supper Club at BGC London serves over 16,000 meals with an additional 18,000 snacks being served in summer programs to children and youth.
Our Music and Meals annual event helps raise the funds required to ensure that each child and youth attending our after-school programs and camps has access to Supper Club.
This year, the proceeds will also support the Digital Creative Arts Centre (D.C.A.C.) The D.C.A.C. is a classroom, a studio, and a performance space at BGC London where youth have the opportunity to learn new skills in digital and creative arts. The students at the D.C.A.C. get real-world and hands-on experience participating in projects for BGC London and community partners.
Each table of 8 at Music & Meals feeds 9 students at BGC London for an entire school year!
"Supper Club is the best part of my day. I love coming here and the food is great” - Mia
The program
With a partnership with the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University, we are bringing you a fun and entertaining night featuring performances by the Western Salsa Band and a jazz ensemble.
Established in the fall of 2022, the Salsa Band is one of Western’s newest ensembles. The Salsa and Pop Bands are led by trombone faculty member Denis Jiron.
The Salsa Band plays music from places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Columbia, Venezuela, and New York, commonly called ‘Salsa.’
This course prepares musicians for professional situations they may encounter in their future, including composing adaptations and arrangements of famous tunes for the ensemble.
