Defying Dementia through the Music

If you are living with dementia, we are looking for new chorus members!

At Giving Voice, we believe in the power of possibility.

Our choruses, along with the choruses in the national Giving Voice Network, are created for people living with dementia as active participants.

That’s right, people living with dementia are the singers in our chorus. Our chorus members are defying dementia through music.

If you are living with dementia, we invite YOU and a friend or family member to sing with us.

Our choruses are made up of people living with dementia, support partners (friends or family members), and volunteers. Everyone shares the same choral experience. Everyone’s voice matters.

At Giving Voice, we focus on what people living with dementia CAN do. People with dementia CAN learn new music. People with dementia CAN make new friends. People with dementia CAN experience joy.

Wondering if singing in a Giving Voice chorus is right for you? Here’s a message from one of our chorus members to you!

If you are living with dementia, experience the health and social benefits of music by singing in a chorus created for you.

• Our Twin Cities based choruses are replacing the stigma of Alzheimer’s through singing in three-part harmony. Bringing together people living with dementia, care-partners, and volunteers to experience the JOY of music.
• Not in the Twin Cities? Find a chorus for people with dementia in the Giving Voice Network near you!
• Or, find out more about how to find out how to start a dementia defying chorus in your area. The Giving Voice Network and our toolkit can get you started.

We are wired for music.

There’s something magical that happens when we share a song. Music is a powerful connector.

People living with dementia, care partners, and volunteers make Giving Voice Choruses a place of belonging.

Laughter. Friendship. Joy. And, singing.

Singing is transformative. Singing in a chorus is community.

Our worldwide movement is empowering people living with Alzheimer’s to change the narrative around living well with dementia. Music changes lives.

Experience the benefits of singing. Join the chorus!
