LITA's Bridging Thru Music program provides opportunities for musicians to perform in Marin long-term care facilities as well as engage with residents. Administered and guided by LITA staff, the Bridging Thru Music program is looking for amateur or pro musicians of any age to help spread the joy of music by performing for appreciative audiences in Marin's Long Term Care facilities. Have some fun performing in a low-pressure setting as a solo performer, a duo, or as part of a band or small ensemble. We will provide all support, coordination, and the opportunity for stimulating inter-generational engagement. Contact Rob at rthomure@litamarin.org to get involved in this fun opportunity!
