April 2026 Spring Concerts at Solista and Aegis Garden
On the second weekend of April 2026, the Performing for Seniors program spent two days visiting two senior communities—Solista in Bellevue and Aegis Garden in Newcastle—bringing music and joy to the residents. The performances were warmly received, and many residents sincerely expressed their hope that our group will return regularly in the future.
The young performers also shared that they felt honored to once again visit the senior communities and bring warmth through music, singing, and companionship. The bright smiles, enthusiastic applause, and heartfelt interactions made us once again feel the power of music to transcend generations and connect people.
This spring concert not only helped the young performers build a deeper connection with the community, but also allowed them to truly experience the positive impact of their small acts—bringing warmth to the community and care and blessings to its senior members. This meaningful experience continues to inspire us to stay committed to community service, share the beauty of the arts, and build bridges across generations while promoting multicultural exchange and integration.
We sincerely thank every dedicated young performer and their families, as well as the staff at Solista and Aegis Garden, for their strong support in making this heartfelt gathering possible once again.
