Galena Reprise Singers
The Galena Reprise Singers is a chorus designed for people living with early memory loss and for those who care for them. Choirs like this are often referred to as memory choirs.
WHY
Singing in a group on a consistent basis promotes learning, a renewed sense of purpose, fun, and social connections in elderly populations.
WHO
The choir welcomes people with early memory loss, and someone involved in their care such as a spouse, family member, friend, or anyone who can attend rehearsals and support their participation on a consistent basis. The care partner may sing or not, their choice. Then, each singer is matched with a volunteer singer who sings alongside the person with memory loss, helping as needed. So, the choir needs volunteers to sing in any vocal part. This is an open and accepting group, welcoming all who are interested in participating regardless of prior singing experience.
WHEN/WHERE
Rehearsals are weekly for 90 minutes on Wednesdays at 2pm at the Galena Center for the Arts.
Starts September 16, 2026, rehearsing for 10 weeks, ending November 18, 2026 with a community performance.
