Music & Memories

Join Music in Hospitals & Care for Music & Memories, interactive sessions to support those living with dementia in care homes, dementia units and in the community.

Sessions are broadcast via YouTube and attendees are welcomed to share song requests and any stories or memories for the musicians to respond to and personalise the session. You can do this when registering on Music in Hospitals & Care’s website and there will also be the opportunity to send messages during the concert via the live chat function.
