Concerts in Care / Proposal to Interior Health Authority 1

Who we are, what we do and for whomConcerts in Care, presented by Health Arts Society, bring the richness and joy of fine music professionally performed to people in care. The 45-minute concerts are delivered in series, usually ten in a twelve-month period, and vitally connect audiences in care to the wider culture and directly to the performers. The concerts are recognised by carers as having a highly beneficial effect on residents and adding significantly to their quality of life. Each concert utilises the talents of an average of slightly more than two performers in groups ranging from solos to quartets. A considerable range of musical genres is offered by the Concerts in Care roster of some 300 professional performers.

Health Arts Society, founded in 2006, is one of seven registered charities delivering Concerts in Care to people, particularly frail elders, in long-term institutional care across Canada. The growth of the program in BC, from 200 concerts in its first year to 1,700 in its seventh, has been driven by the impact of the performances on audiences in care.

Presented by Health Arts Society


Our PerformersConcerts in Care performers are chosen from the ranks of presenting organisations across the country and the community of freelance professional musicians. They are paid for their work, although the audiences also benefit from the performers’ goodwill.

As much as possible Concerts in Care utilize the services of professional musicians local to the homes. A principle value of the program is the quality of the performers, which, given the size of the itineraries, sometimes requires using performers from major centres. The roster of musicians includes some of the best-known public performers in the province.

To date 6,700 Concerts in Care have been given by Health Arts Societies and Société pour les Arts en Milieux de Santé, utilizing over 14,000 performer engagements. In 2012 1,700 concerts will be given of which 912 will have been presented in BC. With an average audience for each concert estimated at 40, Concerts in Care have, to date, brought pleasure to an audience of 260,000.

Support of Concerts in Care by the Government of the Province of British ColumbiaWe wish to thank the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts and the Ministry of Health Living and Sport for their $150,000 contribution in 2009 which enabled Health Arts Society to deliver 450 pilot programmes outside the Lower Mainland. We hope that the Ministry of Health will support the Health Authorities’ completion of the reach of Concerts in Care across the Province.

Adoption of Concerts in Care by Fraser Health AuthorityWe thank Heather Cook for her leadership in adopting the Concerts in Care programme for delivery to all seventy-eight homes of the Fraser Health Authority. Fraser Health Authority’s full-scale commissioning of the programme is the first manifestation of the intended outcome of the 2009 pilot.

The proposal is for Interior Health Authority to commission Health Arts Society to provide a series of ten concerts a year in each Interior Health Authority residential care home.

Delivering Concerts in CareHealth Arts Society has a seven-year track record of delivering multiple concerts in series. The Society’s assets are – • stable,highlyexperiencedstaff• proprietysystems• large,establishedrosterofperformersabletoaccept

The itineraries are designed as if “tours” arranged in contiguous daily schedules enabling the same performers to undertake concerts in long series.

Implementation by Interior Health Authority The implementation of Concerts in Care requires the services of a Health Authority designate to connect the homes and Health Arts Society. Each home will be given instructions on administration of the programme: advising clients of the programmes, reception of performers and thanking the performers. Each home will be given a log-in to the Health Arts website which provides all details of their schedules and performers.

An interval is required to install the programme at the outset of an agreement between Interior Health Authority and Health Arts Society for the provision of Concerts in Care across the Authority’s system.

Proposed Interior Health Authority ScheduleConcerts in Care: April, May, June, July, September, October & November 2013, January, February & March 2014

10 concerts in each of 69 homes = 690 concerts

Itinerary and Contribution Calculation attached.

Interior Health Authority Funding ContributionThe contribution required from Interior Health Authority to provide Concerts in Care to the elders under its aegis is made up of the following components:

• contributiontoperformercosts$390/concert (over 21 performers for each ten concerts)

• costsoftravelincludingairfares,carrentals,hotelaccommodation and per diems (at cost)

The proposal envisions that every home in the system is reached by Concerts in Care performers. The average cost of delivering concerts to remote homes is much greater than providing them in larger population centres, but their inclusion increases overall costs by only a small proportion.

Selection of Reported Outcomes of the Concerts in Care Programme

I just have to say that the performance we had at Columbia View Lodge in June (String Quartet) was absolutely fabulous. Their music mesmerized everyone. We have a woman in our facility who played a violin in the Vancouver Symphony for years. She is quite unresponsive to most things however she smiled and stayed alert for the 45 minutes that this group played. In addition, the members went and talked to her after they finished and she made eye contact and had facial expression – truly a wonderful program for her.

— Margot, Columbia View Lodge

I really want to express the wonderful impact this wonderful music has on our residents and clients. We have had family members come and enjoy the performances with the residents and clients. They have enjoyed this program as well. It is a wonderful program that enhances the lives of the people we work with daily. Many of our residents look forward to the performances and anticipate their arrival the whole day the performers are to arrive.

— Activity Assistant, Golden

I would just like to express our deep gratitude for the program. The musicians have … been so appreciated by residents, families and staff. What a treat it has been to be treated to these talented musicians! I also commend the musicians for treating the residents so well – they have been so friendly, courteous and understanding of the residents’ various needs.

— Program Coordinator, Cranbrook and Kimberley

We had a wonderful turnout at the performance last Thursday at Hospice at 3:30. We are SO enjoying the music and performers…I hope this can continue. It’s absolutely fantastic and we are awestruck. Thank you!

— Recreation Therapist, Kelowna

Everything went beautifully! What outstanding performers you sent to us!!!!! Our residents and staff, loved every minute of them and were hoping to hear from them again in the near future. Really appreciate your excellent musical offerings and your interest and energy in providing this amazing service to us.

— Staff, Joseph Creek Village-Cranbrook

[The ArtsWay artists] were FABULOUS! It was such an honour to have them here. You could have heard a pin drop in between songs the residents were so quiet and relaxed. Thank you so very much.

— Activity Coordinator, Interior Health

In the 15 years I have worked in extended care, I have never seen the residents more focused and entranced by a performer! It was amazing. Even residents with dementia, who normally can’t sit still for long, stayed and listened intently for the entire 45 minutes. It was educational for even me, how people with dementia can obviously appreciate fine music and respond so differently than with other calibres of music. Thank you so much for allowing our residents to share in this opportunity!

— Valerie Watanabe, Vancouver Island Health Authority

[A] severely depressed resident who refused activities...was finally talked into attending the Chris Millington Trio because the staff knew jazz was a favourite. The resident immediately responded to the music, talked about the show, and showed other signs of being more cheerful. This resident died two days after the concert; it was the last live music she heard.
