Joyful Sound Choir brings people living with dementia together with their caregivers, family members and friends to experience the joy and power of music. Throughout the season, our choir members have gathered each week to sing, connect, build friendships and enjoy the many benefits of making music together.
Join us for a special final concert on Saturday, November 28 at 11:00 a.m. as our choir shares the music they’ve worked so hard to learn and enjoy throughout the season.
This concert will be an especially meaningful one as we celebrate Anne’s final Joyful Sound Choir program as facilitator. Come cheer on our choir members, celebrate Anne and enjoy a wonderful morning of music, connection and community.
The Joyful Sound Choir program is currently full, and registration is closed. We look forward to celebrating with our choir community on November 28!
This program is intended for someone living with dementia and their caregiver, family member or friend.
