We are offering a music program for seniors. This will help seniors with various issues. Hearing music soothes and calms, using music to connect to others by playing instruments together. Music helps retrieve memories and helps with many diseases.

Simon Fraser lodge is already booked we will also do one more facility on a weekly basis.

In addition members of the New Horizons Senior Band will be performing at other care facilities throughout the year.

prince george new horizons band The Alban Classical Artists Society has been funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program in the amount of $25,000.

This grant enables Alban Classical to offer a tuition free seniors choir and an instrumental ensemble at the Prince George Chateau open to all seniors, a free Seniors band downtown at the Seniors Resource Centre and to bring music programs into care and retirement homes.

This is a great way to learn from other seniors make new friends and enjoy the physical and cognitive benefits of music. Come out to try an instrument, have a repairman check out your current instrument or get help with procuring an instrument. No musical experience is needed to participate.
