LOVE NOTES CHORUS PRESENTS
THIS AND THAT
DECEMBER 7 | 2:00 P.M. | ST. MATHEW'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Love Notes Chorus, Austin's first and only Alzheimer's choir, is presenting their 8th concert this December. Made up of and equal ratio of those with memory loss, their caregivers, and volunteers, Love Notes Chorus is dedicated to providing those who are affected by Alzheimer's and other memory loss issues, a safe choral setting in which laughter, song, and stories are the foundation for sharing their voices in song as they take their place in Austin’s community of artists and performers. Audiences leave our concerts feeling uplifted and our singers leave feeling that they have not only entertained others, but also helped dispel the stigma of memory loss. Please join us in helping put the Love in Love Notes Chorus by attending our upcoming concert titled: "This And That "which will include songs of a variety of musical genres including jazz, folk, pop, rock'n'roll, Broadway, and gospel.

Presenter Details
- Name: Love Notes Chorus
Love Notes Chorus is a special part of Music Memories Austin, an Austin nonprofit.
Music Memories Austin, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) under the direction of Edie Elkjer, and her business partner, Susie Higley, began facilitating workshops three years ago at Memory Powered by Active Connections (MPAC), St. Matthew’s respite care for people with memory loss.
Realizing the tremendous impact of music on people suffering from this debilitating disease, Edie and Susie were inspired to learn more about Giving Voice Chorus, a chorus made up of persons with memory loss, their caregivers, and volunteers which began in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This encouraged Edie and Susie to launch Love Notes Chorus (LNC) in September 2019.
LNC is made up of the ideal ratio recommended by Giving Voice of one-third persons with varying stages of memory loss, one-third caregivers, and one-third volunteers.
To learn more about how you can participate in LNC, email Edie Elkjer or Susie Higley at: musicmemoriesaustin@gmail.com.
