Alzheimer’s Benefit Concert

Music on my Mind

In honor of Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, the Keck Music Society organized a special concert to raise funds for Music & Memory, a non-profit organization that facilitates music therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. (All donors were entered into a raffle for LA Opera tickets to Mozart’s The Clemency of Titus.) The program began with an introduction by Dr. Laura Mosqueda, Dean of the Keck School of Medicine and expert in geriatrics, and was preceded by various vocal, dance, and instrumental performances by Keck medical students.
