NEGEA - OSLER Society Special Event
Please join us at 5:00pm for a reception followed by a concert by The Unforgettables chorus from 5:30-6:15pm. The chorus is comprised of individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The group started as a research project in 2011 at NYU with Dr. Mary Mittleman, and has since become an independent group that performs frequently. During and after the event, browse an art exhibit featuring artwork created by individuals with dementia and their caregivers, courtesy of Arts & Minds. Experience how music and art can tap into cognition, emotion and memory, allowing individuals with dementia to reclaim their sense of self and interact with their loved ones and the community in a meaningful way. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served until 7:00pm to allow you to enjoy the art exhibit and time with colleagues.
The reception and concert are open to all conference attendees.
