Please join Perry Farm Village in celebrating LeadingAge’s 5th Annual Homecoming Week with a film screening of Young@Heart with a discussion afterwards on Thursday, May 31st at 1:00 pm.
This is a chance to celebrate seniors in this community! This documents the true story of the final weeks of rehearsal for the Young at Heart Chorus in Northampton, MA, whose average age is 81, and many of whom must overcome health adversities to participate. Their music is unexpected, going against the stereotype of their age group, performing songs, for example, by James Brown, and Sonic Youth. Although they have toured Europe and sang for royalty, this account focuses on preparing new songs, not an easy endeavor, for a concert in their home town, which succeeds in spite of several real heart breaking events.
Please call Perry Farm Village at 526-1500 if you are interested in attending!
