The Power of Live Music

Published by admin under live entertainment

I came across this touching story today about Maxim Vengero, world famous violinist.

violinist

Picture property of Times Online.

“Vengerov normally charges $200,000 per concert but today Vengerov plays for nothing. Or rather, he plays for love. We are in a magnificent paneled hall at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in Putney, southwest London. Arrayed in front of the musician are about 60 wheelchair-bound patients who, in many cases, have minimal control over their limbs, their minds – and their lives”

The story goes on to talk about how not every patient was able to move their hand or tap their foot to the music but that all of them had a smile on their face.

It has been proven that music has the power to touch the body, heart and soul -especially live music. I love reading stories of how music is used to help improve the quality of life for injured or ill people. I also read that when music is played in the nursery of premature babies, these babies grew faster and had less complications than other preemies.

Great resource on using live music to improve the quality of life.

“Rhythm and harmony enter most powerfully into the inner most part of the soul and lay forcible hands upon it” – Plato

I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT AN AWESOME “FAMILY DAY” EVENT THAT WE HAD IN LONG BEACH ON JULY 13TH, 2008.  KOMANOFF @ LONG BEACH MEMORIAL HOPSITAL,  EVERY YEAR IN JULY, HOSTS A “FAMILY DAY” FOR THE RESIDENTS, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND IT IS OPENED TO THE COMMUNITY.  THIS PAST SUNDAY 900-1000 PEOPLE GATHERED ON THE PATIO OF THE NURSING HOME TO CELEBRATE ANOTHER YEAR @ KOMANOFF.  THE THEME WAS  “NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FESTIVAL.”  ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS PROVIDED BY HARMONY ENTERTAINMENT INC. OF FARMINGDALE, NY.  THE HARMONY BAND WAS A 5 PIECE BAND  - THEY WERE EXCEPTIONAL!  BLUES, JAZZ, SOME ROCK & ROLL, R&B, FUNK, MOTOWN, AND SOME ISLAND MUSIC TOO, AND THEY WERE FANTASTIC!  HARMONY ALSO HAD A WONDERFULLY TALENTED CARICATURIST, WHO DREW THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL CARTOON PICTURES OF THE RESIDENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, AND HE WAS CLEARLY ABLE TO CAPTURE THEIR PERSONALITY.  THERE WAS A FACE PAINTER ON THE OTHER SIDE.  SHE NOT ONLY PAINTED FACES BUT DREW REALLY BEAUTIFULLY ARTISTIC BUTTERFLIES, FLOWERS ETC., WITH GLITTER, AND ELABORATE PAINTS.  THE OLDER WOMEN ENJOYED HER IMMENSELY.  THE CHILDREN GOT TO BE LIONS, TIGERS, AND STAR WARS HEROES TOO.  THERE WAS A CLOWN WHO MADE THE MOST UNUSUAL BALLOON ANIMALS.  SNAKES WITH PAINTED FACES, HEARTS IN A WAND, PUPPY POODLES, AND THE USUAL SWORDS, ETC., JUST TO NAME A FEW.  THE POPCORN MACHINE IS ALWAYS A HIT AND A NEW SNO KONE MACHINE WAS ADDED THIS YEAR.  THE ICE NEVER STOPPED FLOWING AND THOSE SNO KONES WERE A DELICIOUS TREAT FOR ALL.  IT WAS THE BIG HIT THIS YEAR.  THE NURSING HOME PROVIDED HOT DOGS, SODA, WATER, HAMBUGERS, ICE CREAM, & CAKE, JUST TO NAME SOME OF THE DELICIOUS FOODS.  THERE WAS A PETTING ZOO FOR THE CHILDREN AND THE YOUNGSTERS REALLY ENJOYED THE ANIMALS.  AT ONE POINT THE RECREATION DIRECTOR SAID TO ME, “WE STOPPED COUNTING AT 800.”  THE DAY COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT.  THE WEATHER WAS HOT BUT NOT TOO STIFLING, THE WATERWAY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE SEEMED TO HAVE A COOLING EFFECT ON ALL.  THE MUSIC WAS HARMONIOUS AND THE TALENT OF THE BAND SHONE THROUGH.  A GLORIOUS AFTERNOON WAS HAD BY ALL!  WISH YOU WERE THERE.
