Julliard students harness the power of music to support connection and healthy aging. Our program director, Alyssa Friedman is very impressed with the program: “What’s most remarkable for me is being able to see a resident who has dementia come down to a program.

Friedman raves about the successful partnership: “Our reminiscence residents—those in memory care—love our projects and are really proud to show off their artwork.” Read the full story here.
