Program Description:
Iris Collective approaches music not only as a performance medium, but also as a tool for expression, storytelling, well-being, and relationship-building. Professional musicians lead lively, participatory experiences that invite singing, movement, rhythm, improvisation, storytelling, and shared music-making. In senior living, healthcare, and memory-care settings, each program is shaped by participants’ interests, abilities, and lived experiences, creating meaningful opportunities for creativity and connection.
