Music With You is a nonprofit, volunteer program that aims to alleviate the loneliness of senior sitizens who have been isolated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our young and talented musicians work together to create virtual concerts to be enjoyed. Especially during this period of social isolation, it is important to remind those who feel alone, that there is always someone who remembers them. We hope that our music and performances will brigten someones day and make this CODIV-19 induced isolation a little more bearable.
Our members record videos of themselves playing their instruments, which they then send to us. We piece these videos into longer concers with a duration of 20 to 40 minutes. These concerts are then sent off to various nursing homes to be enjoyed by the senior citizens living there.
Established in August 2020 in the midst of the CODIV-19 pandemic, Music With You strives to lessen the loneliness people, especially senior citizens living in nursing homes might feel due to isolation caused by CODIV-19. Our mission is to reduce feelings of loneliness, boredom, and depression in seniors through virtual concerts put together by young middle school, high school, and college students.
We are constantly working on getting more members and putting together
more concerts with music of different genres so that seniors can
choose to listen to concerts with music of their preference. Even
after the COVID-19 pandemic is under control and seniors living in
nursing homes are once again able to see their friends and family,
Music With You hopes to continue spreading joy through our virtual,
and possibly even in-person concerts. We hope you join us on our
mission to make a positive impact on the community and be the spark
that brightens someone's day.
