Music For Health
Connecting with the community in health care settings
Our Music For Health program brings the joy and power of music to those who may not otherwise have access to live performances.
For over ten years, we have been delivering performances to aged care homes, hospitals, and children with additional needs, continually expanding our reach to bring concerts to people across our community.
We regularly provide chamber performances for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, bringing music to children and their families across Sydney Children’s hospitals. Additionally, we host an annual chamber concert for the Autism Advisory and Support Service, supporting children with autism and their carers. Thanks to the generous support of the F&K De Angeli Foundation, we also bring chamber concerts to aged care facilities and retirement villages across Sydney.
These performances offer an interactive and personal experience, inspiring audiences by sharing stories about the repertoire and instruments and connecting through our shared love of music.
