Raise money for Mississauga Festival Choir
Mississauga Festival Choir is a community choir family that enriches lives through music by way of performance, education and outreach - while valuing excellence in choral music performance, education, spirit: celebration, joy and pleasure, and community engagement. Under the leadership of David Ambrose, MFC performs many concerts, raises money for local charities, records professional CDs, holds an annual choral competition and tours the world.
Our fundraising dollars will go to develop our Raising Voices Program. This initiative is in partnership with Alzheimer Society Peel, where a music therapist works closely with MFC's staff and volunteers to thoughtfully develop and deliver the program based on research and best practices. This reaches an under-served group in the disabilities community and includes the opportunity for caregivers to broaden the circle of care.
The program includes individuals with dementia including Alzheimer’s Disease, their caregivers, youth volunteers from Cawthra Park Secondary School and Mississauga Festival Choir volunteer mentors. It runs as a choir conducted by our youth choir conductor Bob Anderson, and comprises of eight weekly 75 minute sessions for two terms per year. Professional and volunteer participants facilitate carefully selected music from the broadway and popular music styles geared towards groups of individuals with dementia and their caregivers, as studies show that those two genres help aid in building and retaining memory.
