Memory chorus performs with Wisconsin Intergenerational Orchestra as holiday cheer and therapeutic music combines for first time

(MILWAUKEE) - The spirit of the holiday season combined with a love of music is bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together to create a magical performance.

A holiday concert held this month made history by combining a symphony orchestra with the voices of an Alzheimer’s chorus for the very first time.

The Amazing Grace Chorus is a Milwaukee-based diverse chorus made up of people living with dementia and their caregivers. On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Cearron Bagenda showed why their recent collaboration with the Wisconsin Intergenerational Orchestra proves that music is for everyone.
