The Boîte. History Through Music, Song and Story
Jen Rose, Well Chosen Words in partnership with The Boîte
https://theboitehistory.org/about/
The Boîte—literally, the Cabaret—has been a significant part of Victoria’s cultural scene since 1979. In a variety of venues across Melbourne, and in rural settings, The Boîte has staged concerts, created choirs, and organised musical workshops and other projects. The central aim of the organisation’s multi-faceted program has always been to increase awareness within the Victorian community of the music of our migrants from non-English speaking countries.
To mark The Boîte’s 40th anniversary in Victoria, and celebrate its many achievements, a website was developed, which presents The Boîte’s story through words, music, pictures and video. This digital history is a perfect introduction to the work of an organisation that has made an inspiring contribution to the cultural life of Victoria.
This website is appropriately representative of The Boîte: it is wide-ranging in its multi-cultural subject matter, in its aims, and in the means used to convey its history. It is thus a fitting winner of this award.
