Culture Takes Root In National Capital Canberra's rising cultural scene
In Canberra during the jubilee year plans include a 1200 seat auditorium and a small theatre plus a conservatorium of music. The 1920s saw growth from Telopra Park school and the Canberra Community Library to the Canberra Society of Arts and Literature, the Canberra Philharmonic Society, and the Canberra City Band, shaping local cultural life before Albert Hall opened in 1928.
