Student Music and Theatre Performances for Seniors
We connect high school music and theatre students with senior living communities and senior centers for meaningful live performances. Students share their talents, brighten the lives of older adults and may earn community-service credit through participating schools.
Building bridges between generations
A portion of program proceeds helps fund the donation of Yamaha digital pianos to underserved schools throughout Southwest Florida, expanding access to music education for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
In return, student performers in music and theatre share their talents with seniors in local communities and senior centers, creating meaningful intergenerational experiences that inspire learning, service, and joy while earning valuable community service credits.
