The Power of Music When It Matters Most
Concerts in Care Ontario brings beauty and energy to seniors in care spaces with the healing power of professional live music performances. Our musicians create moments of joy that honour the dignity and well-being of our aging audiences.
Since 2011, Concerts in Care Ontario has provided more than 3,500 concerts, touching 381,000 seniors, caregivers, and healthcare staff, creating more than 8,200 musician engagements.
The concert was absolutely wonderful! This seniors’ residence is home to people from a variety of cultures, and it was amazing to see everyone come together to sing and even dance. What a fantastic afternoon. The musicians inspired clients to reminisce, laugh, and create memorable moments with one another. Thank you again for organizing this event.

Music is Essential for Seniors’ Care
A critical mass of research shows that music, especially live professional music is particularly beneficial for people struggling with a change of location, dealing with grief, memory loss, or social isolation.
Listening to music helps them to remember familiar places and events and make associations with happy times through musical memories.
This is important because lifestyle changes can be isolating for seniors who have had to leave their homes and communities.
Concerts in Care Ontario fills this gap with transformative live music concerts and connection with professional musicians from the community.

Ambassador
If you love music, have an affinity for seniors, and time to spare for good works, we are looking for Volunteer Ambassadors to “adopt” a home and attend concerts there, introducing the concerts, and acting as liaison to ensure smooth experiences for both the home and the musicians, while getting to know the residents and staff.
