Adult residential care settings and daycentres
We have a very popular programme of illustrated duo recitals, with carefully selected music, to suit a wide range of clients. The performers’ personalities are as important as their musicianship, and our players bring a sparkle and sensitivity to their work in this field. Most recently these programmes have been delivered for the orchestra’s Live & Rural programme in Warwickshire, for Redditch Borough Council and for Birmingham City Council. We also have performers who specialise in music for people with dementia.
These programmes have also been very popular with hospice clients, and with a MIND mental health support group.

“Left us wanting more.”
“110 out of 100!”

“The visits have given a focus for conversation which helps with an increase in confidence…and a renewed interest in music.”
“[clients] enjoyed sharing with relatives and other residents and talking about the event afterwards.”
“The residents relate much better to ‘live’ music…and seeing it played.”
“…music has great healing properties in that it relaxes people and makes some unique connection between musician and patient.”
“The interaction the musicians have developed with our client group has been an important part of the positive impact of these visits.”
“I cannot emphasise strongly enough how much this means to our residents, especially those with… a musical background of high standard, but who are unable to attend public performances now.”
