Alzheimer's Stories (30 x 20 in) (7)

Alzheimer's Stories

Presented by the Legacy Chorale and community orchestra

Friday, April 24 at 7:30 pm | Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts

 

The Legacy Chorale presents Alzheimer’s Stories: a concert that reflects on a condition that touches so many of our families and loved ones. 

 

At the heart of the program is Robert Cohen’s Alzheimer’s Stories, a large work for choir, soloists, and orchestra with a libretto by Herschel Garfein. The text tells recollections of chorus members and friends with relatives who have lived with the condition. The work premiered on October 9, 2009 and has since been presented across the United States, including twice in Minnesota: by the Minnesota Chorale in 2012 and the Oratorio Society of Minnesota in 2023.
Under the direction of Brian Stubbs, the Legacy Chorale will perform Alzheimer’s Stories in Brainerd, accompanied by a chamber orchestra composed of musicians from around Central Minnesota.
A resource fair will be held in the Gichi-ziibi lobby beginning at 6:30 pm and after the concert. Vendors include The Center, Central Minnesota Council on Aging, Vivie, Home Instead, Northern Psychiatric Associates of Minnesota, Lakes Area Memory Awareness Advocates, and Lakes Area Justice Table. Stories Circles will be offered after the concert, facilitated by the Lakes Area Justice Table.

Tickets are $20 for premium reserved seating or $15 for general admission. Tickets are available at legacychorale.org, by calling 218-270-8212, or at the door an hour before the performance.
