A Musical Alliance Inspires Meaning at Weinberg Villages

October 13, 2022

One of the many benefits of residing in a CHAI senior living community is the programming that creates an active and engaged environment. From fall 2021 through summer 2022, the Iris Music Project (IMP) brought an “ensemble-in-residence” to CHAI’s Weinberg Village campus. Community-embedded musicians presented concerts, rehearsed on campus and worked collaboratively with community members on musical projects and individual performances. IMP engaged each of the over 400 residents at the Villages by holding hallway concerts throughout the five buildings. The impact of this program for residents and musicians alike is immeasurable. One resident wrote that IMP “awakened my love for playing music, that I thought was in the past.” CHAI is thrilled to continue this meaningful program for a second year, which began September 2022.
