Music & Health Ireland invites you to a special summer music series created for people living with a dementia diagnosis, along with their caregivers, families, and friends.
Taking place at 12 noon on three Wednesdays in May, June, and July 2026, each one-hour concert offers a warm and welcoming space where everyone can relax, connect, and enjoy music together.
The programme features popular ballads, folk songs, well-loved favourites, and seasonal tunes, music that sparks memories, encourages singing along, and brings comfort through familiarity. More than a concert, each gathering is an opportunity to meet others who understand the journey after a dementia diagnosis, helping to ease isolation and nurture a sense of belonging.
