Concert at Brightview Great Falls

With a joy-filled afternoon ahead, Music and Love performers gathered in the lobby of the memory care center, instruments in hand and sheet music at the ready. Residents gradually filled the seating area, greeting one another and settling in as the first notes rang out. The performance began with a pair of slow, almost trance-like pieces that cast a calm atmosphere over the room. As the program continued, the mood shifted. One lively piano work featured fingers skittering effortlessly across the keys, while another piece drew on folk-inspired melodies and flowing arpeggios that gave it an unmistakable bounce. A later performance opened with rich, emotion-filled chords before unfolding into a grand and imaginative musical journey. The room grew noticeably quieter as listeners became absorbed in the music. Some swayed gently in their seats, while others tapped their armrests along with the rhythm. The afternoon continued with a powerful waltz-like work before the final piece brought the program to a close. As performers packed away their instruments, residents lingered to share compliments and thank them for the music. (Reported by Angelina Lin)
