Work with Seniors

 

Samite and Musicians for World Harmony have worked extensively with seniors across the world, bringing the healing power of music to their ears, hearts, and minds.

 

With the 65+ population growing, many more people face challenges of aging including social issues that contribute to health problems and physical decline such as isolation, loneliness, and depression.  Music has been proven to reach parts of peoples' minds that help combat these issues and contribute to a more robust life. 

In late 2015 and 2016, we brought the positive effects of the Second Wind Tour to senior centers across central New York.  We reached over 70 seniors with the support, community and fun that MUSIC Heals brings, and to help combat problems related to aging and contribute to a more robust life in later years.  We evaluated the results, and 70% of the seniors experienced an improvement in mood; 59% experienced memories during the program.  Click here to read the full report.

Samite’s 9th CD is a collection of instrumentals that sprang from his deep knowledge of tradition and his recent soundtrack work on the film, “Addiction Incorporated.” On this CD the producers explore the storytelling powers of many instruments and Africa's melodic roots. All proceeds from the sale of TRUST go directly to Musicians for World Harmony. Click on your store of choice above to purchase.
