Musical Connections with Anne and the Joyful Sound Ottawa Choir

About This Program

Experience the joy and the power of music! Joyful Sound Choir is an intergenerational, community choir for people with memory loss and their caregivers, as well as family and friends. Weekly rehearsals foster community, cognitive function and socialization. In addition to singing together, rehearsals also provide a time of getting to know each other. Each season ends with a short concert for family members, friends and community.

We ask that participants commit to attending on a weekly basis.

This program is intended for someone living with dementia and their caregiver, family member or friend.

No training or musical background is required.

Please join us for the end-of-season JSO concert at St. Stephen’s church on Saturday December 9th at 11:00am.
