Concerts in Care’s Artistic Goals
PERFORM TO HIGH MUSICAL STANDARDS
CiCO engages with professional musicians with the experience and expertise to deliver a concert-hall quality concert for audiences.
AFFINITY FOR THE SENIORS’ MILIEU
Our performers are not only passionate about their music, but they are also compassionate to the needs and sensitivities of our unique audiences.
WILLINGNESS FOR CREATIVE PROGRAMMING
Performers must be willing to create programming that combines high-quality music and performance with variety and narrative for their audience.
Standards and Partnerships
Standards for performers and repertoire in the CiCO program are very high. Not only are these musicians at the top of their professional fields, but they also have a respect for and affinity with the elderly and vulnerable.
Concerts in Care Ontario performers are often chosen from major performing arts organizations and they are paid for their work. For programming interest and to keep costs within manageable parameters, CiCO presents a mixture of solos, duos, trios, and quartets in each facility.

- National Arts Centre Orchestra
- Ottawa Chamberfest
- Toronto Summer Music Festival
- Glenn Gould School
