Concord Conservatory of Music’s Singing with Parkinson’s Chorus brings together Parkinson’s patients, their families, and caregivers to provide enjoyment, strength and comradery. This is an ongoing program, and we welcome participants to come at any time during the semester to try out the chorus. The Chorus meets on Mondays at 10:30 am through 12:00 pm.
A chorus-based opportunity to participate in voice therapy through song, Singing with Parkinson’s focuses on vocal fitness while offering people coping with the disease a chance to sing together, perform in the community and build new friendships. Breathing, stretching, posture, and vocal exercises are taught in a supportive, congenial environment.
The chorus sings songs from a variety of genres, with input from the group helps guide the repertoire. The cost for participants is $100 for the fall semester, which is 10 sessions, and there’s no cost for caregivers and family members to attend.
Concord Conservatory of Music (CCM) is the area’s non-profit community music school, located at 1317 Main Street in the West Concord Union Church. Financial assistance is available.
