About the Music Centre

The Westminster Music Centre is a community focused non-profit venue. [Insert new mission statement?]

History

In the interest of keeping this beautiful venue alive, a group of motivated citizens formed the “Westminster Music Association,” run by a volunteer board of directors, in the fall of 2016 and re-organized the Music Centre as a 501c3 non-profit organization.  In 2017 we hired a part-time director to run operations and officially started holding events again in March 2017.

Meet The Director

BJ Callahan is the new Executive Director of the Westminster Music Centre.  BJ is a performing musician in his own right and owns a music studio in Seneca, FNKY Music studios, where he teaches music lessons and operates a small recording studio.  You can find out more about BJ, his music, and the studio at the website for BJ Callahan & FNKY Music.  Callahan performs locally as a solo act and with several local bands, most currently his Americana folk project Amongst The Trees.  BJ and his family moved to Westminster in 2011 to establish Callywood Farms, a sustainable family farm, to pursue their dream of living off the land and growing their own food.  They raise pigs, chickens, and garden while also raising 2 children. Every summer they host the Summer Solstice Farm & Music Festival which combines their loves of live music and farm life.

Meet The Board

There aren’t enough glowing adjectives to describe our board members…A few that spring to mind are: generous, passionate, motivated, loyal, focused, did we mention generous? …yeah you get the picture.  These are the folks that donate their time, talent, and energy to make the Music Centre happen.
