Senior Serenades

Community Education Program

Music Matters.

The Santa Fe Symphony’s Senior Serenades bring the beauty of live classical music directly to residents of senior communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and those in memory care. These concerts provide musical enjoyment, encourage social engagement with the musicians and other residents, and lift the spirits of seniors who may feel isolated or miss the musical outings they once experienced on a regular basis.

Symphony Chamber Ensembles perform informal concerts presenting a variety of music to residents at these locations, whether they are enjoying an active senior lifestyle or ongoing day-to-day care and assistance. Some residents are unable to walk around much anymore and some are very social and active. But ALL of us, the young and the young at heart, are united by music.

Our Senior Serenades are just one more reason to support The Santa Fe Symphony’s variety of Community & Education programs. Bringing great music to life across our community really makes a difference! With your support, small group ensembles are able to perform music for seniors who aren’t able to attend live classical concerts at The Lensic. We bring the beauty of live classical music that touches the hearts of seniors in the Santa Fe community.

  • 69% of Seniors who listen to music report a benefit to their brain health.
