What is a CONCERT in CARE?

Since 2006 www.HealthArts.org has organized 11,000 high-quality professional Concerts in Care. They have partnered with provincial Health Ministers, corporate sponsors and long-term care providers to bring the rich experience of performance arts to people in residential care.

Today, we heard the most amazing Lisa Tahara, concert pianist at the Menno Hospital Chapel. This is an incredible way that we are able to serve our residents. Over 80 residents participated in todays concert. Please encourage residents to participate – and encourage families to join them for the concert at no cost. Residents from Home, Hospital and Apartments are welcome to attend the concerts.

Dr. Lisa Tahara is a Japanese-Canadian classical pianist and teacher residing in Toronto, Ontario. Over the past 15 years, she has appeared in solo and chamber concerts throughout North America and Europe. Lisa has also performed as a soloist with several orchestras across Canada such as the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, the University of Victoria Orchestra and most recently, the Georgian Bay Symphony Orchestra. Lisa also starred and performed in France Benoit’s short film, Kiri’s Piano, during the summer of 2013 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
