Symphonic Sounds for Seniors

Our newest offering to the community, Symphonic Sounds for Seniors, provides a small ensemble for independent and assisted-living residents in local retirement facilities. The 30-to-45-minute program is developed with “patient-preferred repertoire” in mind.

Sharing Music in our Regional Living Facilities

As people age, mobility, transportation, health, and living arrangements can make attending concerts and community events increasingly difficult. Seniors living in assisted and independent living communities may have fewer opportunities to experience live professional music and participate in the cultural life around them.

why this matters

Access to new experiences, curiosity, and human connection should not diminish with age. Live music can create a reason to gather, listen, reminisce, engage with others, and experience something outside the routine of daily life to improve mood and wellbeing.

  • Reach those who can no longer come to the concert hall
  • Re-engage a population that may be excluded from community cultural events
  • Make new memories and keep curiosity at the forefront as we age

Coming Together

Through direct partnerships with senior living communities. Activity directors and facility staff connect us with residents and provide the space and support needed to bring live performances directly to them.

Building Trust

Ongoing relationships with facility staff and residents creates trust, repeat engagement, and greater community investment in the Symphony’s work.

Patient Preferred Programing

Selecting pieces of music that will resonate with the intended population to encourage engaging performances that get toes tapping and faces smiling.

Let’s Create a New Normal

Where live music becomes a consistent part of senior communities, not an occasional special event, creating continued opportunities for curiosity, connection, anticipation, and shared experience.
