SYMPHONIES FOR SENIORS - NORTH PALM BEACH CHAPTER
In June 2025, a dedicated team of student musicians from elementary, middle, and high schools launched the North Palm Beach County Chapter of Symphonies for Seniors. With a shared passion for bringing music into the lives of others, these students have started performing at senior centers and community spaces throughout Martin County. The chapter focuses on fostering connection and joy through music, offering heartfelt performances that brighten the days of seniors and deepen the sense of community between generations.
