Sonoramente is proposed by Walter Vinci Onlus Association which works in the field of social fragility to support, promote and share a culture of prevention.
Sonoramente is a music therapy and choir singing project for people with Alzheimer and cognitive impairment and for their caregivers. In the course of four years of activity, the choir has involved around 40 choristers aged between 70 and 85 each year, with the participation of several young volunteers as supporting voices. Participation in the choir is, to date, completely free of charge for patients and their families. Over time, a real model of intervention has been developed, with a scientific coordinator and two music therapists, to replicate the format in other community contexts, both outside and inside RSA, and to promote a digital channel of intervention so as not to lose potential choristers unable to move.
