Happy Friday with the Factory - collaboration with Artists in Action: Many Friday concerts have been added in the agenda (lots of senior centers are closed on weekends). We are happy to launch a partnership with Artists in Action, a student-led NYU nonprofit promoting the arts in the community who will help us to reach out to College student volunteers.

Our bedside program has been a big success - come experience the power of music as we bring joy to seniors who can’t leave their beds.
We travel from room to room with a small group of musicians, sharing music and smiles.

Now available one Saturday morning each month.

To increase the number of weekday concerts, we are also collaborating with many schools. We have organized customized performances with Avenue, Berkeley Carroll, Church Street and Opus One Music, bringing their students to share musical talents with the elderly. Next, St. Luke’s School will have 40 students performing 4 simultaneous concerts at different floors of a nursing home on a Friday afternoon.

Talk to your school and let them know about this wonderful collaboration opportunity!

We will play to the fundraising concert of this amazing NGO Hearts of Joy on November 22. Click here to participate or support them.

Thank you to everyone who participated to our first concert specific to French-speaking seniors on September 14 at the Opera Center. We’ll be organizing another one in early 2026, so start brushing up on your French songs.

As we prepare for our next concerts and the upcoming holiday season, we’d love to know if you are around during Christmas week so we can plan some caroling performances together!

Looking forward to sharing music with all of you soon,
