Live Marimba Concerts for Care homes

Why Choose a Marimba Concert for a Care Home?

The marimba is a warm-sounding acoustic instrument and is particularly well suited to concerts in care homes:

• pleasant, unobtrusive sound

• acoustic performance – no amplification or technical equipment required

• easy to follow, even for listeners with reduced hearing

• visually engaging through the movement and playing technique

• can have a positive effect on people living with dementia

The music is always adapted to the room, the audience, and the atmosphere.
