" Love and music are the last things to go. Sing anything."
Caregiver and loved one posing together

Dear Friend of MOS,
The Michael O'Neal Singers open the 2019-2020 concert season with
Time Forgotten - Time Remembered, this Sunday, October 27, at 3 p.m. at Roswell United Methodist Church.

There are currently 5.8 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer's or other dementias. Over 16 million Americans (mainly family members) provide unpaid care to the people suffering from this disease.  This performance is ultimately one which will offer hope and support to caregivers of people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias, and will remind us how music can touch lives in profound and meaningful ways.The program will include the regional premiere of Robert Cohen's Alzheimer's Stories, a critically acclaimed work which addresses the subject of memory loss through stories of pathos, poignancy and humor. In addition to the full MOS Chorus, the concert will feature chamber orchestra,  Beverly Blouin (Mezzo Soprano),  Brent Davis (Baritone), and guest narrator actor Tom Key. Also included in the concert will be performances of Long, Long Ago; Shenandoah; Amazing Grace; and You'll Never Walk Alone.

Perhaps the final lines of Alzheimer's Stories express it best:
Find those you love in the dark and light. Help them through the days and nights. Keep faith. They sense what they cannot show. Love and music are the last things to go. Sing anything. Sing.

Tickets are $15/$20 in advance and $20/$25 at the door.
We hope you can join us for this meaningful afternoon of music.

Stop by the Charis Gallery (just down the hall from the concert) to view the visual arts exhibit, The Spirit Lives On, featuring 20 photographs and drawings by Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.
