The Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra is offering a specially designed program to make orchestral music more accessible for people living with dementia. This program invites participants living with early-stage dementia to a 45-minute portion of an HPO rehearsal featuring Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade followed by a discussion about the composer and music at FirstOntario Concert Hall.
This inclusive and accessible game group is being created to foster mutually beneficial intergenerational socialization. Seniors, including persons living with dementia, and anyone over the age of 14 are encouraged to join us to play games in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere.
