Young Musicians Give their Time and Talent for Confined Seniors
Our fine, talented group of young musician volunteers have been busy this summer. Here is a summary of recent Bridging thru Music events from our youth volunteers:
Branson School student Jaden Sher has played piano at Bello Gardens multiple times, and will be playing at Atria Tamalpais August 13. 16 year old singer/ guitarist Sienna Alexandra really wowed them at Aegis Living in Corte Madera in June. Always a favorite, violinist Dheyan Lim along with pianist Jane Broderick performed at South Marin Health and Wellness. New volunteers William Chu (violin), and sisters Keilana (violin) and Caelyn Eng (piano and violin) performed at Bello Gardens (see comments from Shelley at Bello, raving about their performances). New volunteer (and singer with a beautiful voice) Lyla Stanger performed jazz and pop songs at South Marin Health and Wellness. Opening the hour were sisters Rithisaa (violin) and Tanishkaa Nambi (piano and flute), who came all the way from Tracy, a distance of over 70 miles one way! Finally Arthur Musson sang a capella for the residents of South Marin Health and Wellness.
On behalf of LITA and the Bridging thru Music program, we thank you! Music has so much power to inspire and uplift, and these young performers gave their time to make the joy happen.
“I keep hearing rave reviews about Sienna!”
“We were astounded!!! Each of them are superb. And young! Very impressive! It’s not easy to come in and play for a group of strangers, let alone those who are more challenged. The group bowed and thanked us after their last song while we clapped away.
I have never!!
