Meaningful moments of connection, a conversation without words.
Manchester Camerata has been delivering its award-winning Music in Mind programme for people with dementia and their carers since 2012, supporting people living with dementia and their carers to live well through the unique power of music.
Led by professional musicians, music therapists and our own Music Champions, Music Cafés provide ‘in the moment’ person-centred care for people living with dementia. They bring moments of joy, connection, true expression and help enhance the wellbeing of all who attend.
