Musical Memories Volunteer Information Event - Aberdeen Art Gallery

12.30pm to 1.15pm | Volunteer Information Event (Drop-in)
1.30pm to 3.00pm | Musical Memories Session

Do you love music? Can you play the piano, guitar or accordion? Want to support your community? Find out about volunteering with Musical Memories.

Join us for an informal drop-in session to find out more about volunteering with Musical Memories, a welcoming singing group for people living with dementia, together with their partners, families and friends.

We're looking for volunteer musicians to provide live accompaniment for a range of well-loved songs from different eras. Each session follows a themed playlist, with a volunteer leading the singing while musicians provide the instrumental backing that helps create a warm, engaging and enjoyable experience for participants.

Musical Memories is led by a fantastic team of volunteers, supported by Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums. Our volunteers are warm, friendly and welcoming, and together they create a fun and supportive atmosphere where music brings people together. Through singing and shared musical experiences, Musical Memories helps spark memories, encourage creativity and build meaningful connections.

Everyone attending the information event is warmly encouraged to stay for the Musical Memories session from 1.30pm to 3.00pm. It's the perfect opportunity to meet participants and volunteers, enjoy the music, experience the welcoming atmosphere and see first-hand the difference live music can make.
