Thank you SingAble Camrose and Ardelle for a lovely afternoon of singing and community. A wonderful way to celebrate Music Therapy Month, and the power of music in our lives.

The month of March has for many years been marked by the Canadian Music Therapy Association as Music Therapy Awareness month. To celebrate, SingAble and the UA Augustana Music Area cordially invite you, your family and your friends to explore the powerful healing properties of music and song through a Music Heals Awareness community sing.

At a time when music is needed as never before to inspire healing, unity and peace, join special guests, Registered Music Therapist, Sheila Killoran, Physician Musician, Dr. Chris Nichol, and pianist, Dr. Roger Admiral.

Lovers of music and song at all ages and stages of life are warmly welcomed to joyfully combine spirits and voices in the reverberant acoustics of the UA Augustana Chapel on Saturday, March 9 at 3:00.

Donations for the Camrose Food Bank will gratefully be received.
