Where Words Fail, Music Speaks


We are very excited about our programs this month that revolve around the many facets of music.  This year we will be introducing the Music and Memory Program into our Wellspring community here at Louisville.  We have three events scheduled in the upcoming months and invite you to join us!

January 19th at 5:30 PM: ALIVE INSIDE SCREENING An inspirational and emotional story left the audience humming, clapping and cheering at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award. The film dramatically portrays the power of music and memory. Refreshments will be served following the screening along with discussion on how music impacts each of us daily, especially those who live with dementia. See the trailer.
  
February 2nd at 6:30 PM: VIRTUAL DEMENTIA TOUR AND CREATE YOUR PLAYLIST EVENT The Virtual Dementia Tour is an interactive, experiential journey into the realities of dementia. It allows you to “walk in the shoes” of your loved one, enabling you to better understand their needs and behaviors. End this journey by starting your own personalized music playlist!

February 17th at 6:30 PM: MUSIC THE MAGIC HEALER Andrea Antognoni, a certified musical practitioner, will share a live selection of her work followed by a special conversation about music and its benefits. Andrea has been offering music in long-term health care for over 15 years. She captivates listeners and transports them beyond current recall to a world filled with beauty and adventure.
