TORONTO, May 8, 2024
/CNW/ - Canadian nonprofit Waveland, a subsidiary of Arts Help, is
thrilled to announce the return of its beloved program, Songs for
Seniors. Made possible in part by funding from the Government of
Canada's New Horizons for Seniors
Program, this initiative continues to uplift spirits and foster
community connections among seniors across the country.
The fourth installment of Songs for Seniors promises to be
bigger and better than ever before. Taking place at Chartwell
Lakeshore Burlington, the concerts will kick off on May 14th, with subsequent performances every
Tuesday for a total of 10 events. This year's series will feature
talented Canadian musicians delivering a blend of original
compositions and popular hits from the 60s to the 90s.
Del Charles, VP of programming at
Arts Help says: "The concerts are designed to give seniors access
to new music, and help them continue to build on their social
networks. With the generous support of the Government of
Canada, we can continue to provide
this important service to seniors across Canada." The concerts will be broadcasted live
via Waveland's youtube page, allowing seniors and long-term care
homes from coast to coast to participate.
