Words and Music: Terry E. Carter and Renée Heywood
Friday, December 8, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Free

The West Medford Community Center’s final Words and Music program of the year will turn the tables on host Terry E. Carter, with WMCC board member Ilene Lerner interviewing Carter about his newly released sixth book of poetry, “Brown Skin and the Brilliant Sun: A Poet’s Opus.” That segment will be followed by a performance of songs of light and hope by West Medford native Dr. Renée Heywood. An educator, author and ordained pastor, she has recorded several gospel music albums. Seating is limited and masking is welcomed. The program also will be carried live on the Medford Community Media YouTube channel, and on MCM community access television (Ch. 9-Comcast, Ch. 47-Verizon).

The West Medford Community Center launched Words and Music in 2017. Usually presented on the first Friday of every month, the event starts off with a discussion on a valuable aspect of the community, normally moderated by Carter, followed by a performance by a local musician or musicians. For more information on this or other WMCC programs, visit the center’s website or call 781-483-3042.
