Music

Sing-alongs are one of our most looked-forward-to programs. One monthly themed music program is performed at a variety of locations. There are no rehearsals, so you should have some musical chops. You will be provided with a list of songs before the program and will receive music or word sheets at the event. The commitment is for one performance per month.

About us

We bring music, dance, arts & crafts, and other creative activities to facilities for financially disadvantaged seniors. Our focus is on senior and convalescent facilities that have a very limited or no budget for arts activities. We also bring performing groups. Our team of arts professionals work together to create a program that will give the participants an opportunity to express their creativity while increasing cognitive function and enjoying social interaction. We Bring Joy!
