Healing Notes
Healing Notes is a community engagement outreach initiative that brings the power of live music directly to seniors, memory care patients, individuals in critical medical care, and low-income families. RSO musicians perform in senior living communities, medical facilities, hospice and community centers, creating moments of connection, joy, and healing. Each outreach fosters engagement, evokes cherished memories, and uplifts the spirits of those who often feel isolated.
WHAT MAKES HEALING NOTES SPECIAL?
Music has the unique ability to touch the soul, evoke emotions, and rekindle cherished memories. For those who may feel isolated due to age, illness, or other challenges, live music can be a profound source of comfort and joy. Healing Notes bridges this gap by bringing the symphony experience directly to them.
- Interactive Engagement: Our musicians connect with audiences by introducing pieces, sharing stories about composers, and answering questions, creating a personal and memorable experience.
- Therapeutic Benefits: Familiar music can evoke deep emotional responses and help reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety, particularly for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
- Personalized Selections: Special requests from patients, such as a favorite song, help create moments of personal connection and joy.

“It is not unusual for an audience member to share a memory from a song that was played. Sometimes they even start singing along. The joy and connection are palpable.”
