Music never gets old. It has the power to transcend generations, bring people together, take you back, lift you up, and reconnect you with defining moments in life. But did you know that it can also play a role in healthy aging?
Research shows that music can stimulate cognitive function, elevate mood, reduce pain, foster social connections, and enhance personal growth and development. And just as important: Whether you’re playing it, listening to it, or dancing along, music is just plain fun!
Here at The Glenridge, we’ve been turning up the tempo at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center with a selection of live music, from new vibes to timeless classics:
- You Can’t Beat the Hits. We’re playing the hits in our series of complimentary, by-invitation-only celebrity tribute band concerts – including rockin’ performances from Turnstiles (Billy Joel) and Creedence Revived (Creedence Clearwater Revival), and summertime vibes with Sail On (The Beach Boys). Don’t forget: These concerts are by invitation only – so if you’re interested in joining our mailing list, call (941)-552-5369.
- There’s No Tune Like a Show Tune. This autumn, members can look forward to performances of Gilbert & Sullivan classics and live vocals from Broadway singers. And if you’re looking for more theatre, the Asolo Rep’s visiting performers will be hitting the highlights of the Bard himself with Shakespeare 45.
- The Classics Never Get Old. Over the years, we’ve welcomed a host of world-class performers from top arts organizations to perform at GPAC – including the Sarasota Orchestra and Sarasota Opera. This season, live jazz, piano and stirring choral music are all on the program.
- A Front-Row Seat to Sarasota’s Best. Another advantage of being a Glenridge member: Our private shuttle offers convenient transportation to many of downtown Sarasota’s best operas, concerts, and ballets – making it easier than ever for members to enjoy all the art and culture our city has to offer.
And there’s more to come at GPAC! Join our mailing list today to be the first to receive invites to upcoming complimentary concerts: Call (941)-552-5369.
