Documentary shines spotlight on special bond between young musicians and Providence Manor residents
For more than a decade, students with Canta Arya School for Strings have been performing for residents at Providence Manor. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school would host as many as 20 concerts a year at the long-term care home.
“It all started 11 years ago. A student of ours had a loved one living at Providence Manor so we decided to host a concert there,” explained Karen-Michele Kimmett, Canta Arya School for Strings Director. “It was so well received and appreciated by residents, staff and our students, we decided to come back and play again. Over time, recognizing how special this was, we formed a partnership with Providence Manor.”

“The patient must also remain in their room for the entire quarantine period. Because we have these protocols in place, the patient had no interaction with any other patient or client on the unit, so the risk of the virus spreading is low,” Heather Candon, Providence Care’s director of infection prevention and control, stated in a news release Thursday.
