Music and Song Week: Let's sing at any age

Culture & Hospital association and geriatric establishments have been presenting the event “Let's sing at all ages – National Week of Singing and Music with the Elderly” for 19 years already, each May.
Since the pandemic, for the 3rd consecutive year, a hybrid edition is organized with virtual musical events accessible to all. Each year, establishments are called upon to organize a double musical action: one open to the city, in connection with an external cultural structure (music training, conservatory, choirs, etc.); the second, internally, highlighting a musical activity carried out regularly in the establishment (music workshop, choir, etc). Th project has several objectives: to create a new dynamic of meeting and exchange between geriatric establishments and artistic/ cultural partners; to promote the musical activities carried out by cultural managers, facilitators, volunteers and caregivers; to federate geriatric establishments and affirm the role of the elderly person as a creator of links within social life; to raise awareness about the place of music in the care given to the elderly.
