SUMMARY:Rimbala Classes for Seniors
DESCRIPTION:Rimbala is an evidence-based falls prevention program that uses music as the principle means of intervention. Based on the work of visionary Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze\, Rimbala enjoys one of the highest falls prevention results in the world\, with a 54% reduction in falls for community-dwelling seniors. \nOlder adults improve their gait (walking style)\, mobility\, cognitive skills and social intelligence in a relaxed but joyous setting. The improvised music brings fresh neuroplastic experiences that improves the connection between the body and brain in ways that conventional exercise cannot. Because music is broadly distributed in the brain\, there is a hypothesis that gentle exercise with cognitive components can prevent participants from the ravages of dementia — including Alzheimer’s. \nFor more information\, please visit: www.rimbala.com \nClasses are held at: \nRosedale United Church 159 Roxborough Dr\, Toronto Wednesdays 11:30 AM-12:30 PM $20.00 per session \nand online at various times throughout the week. \nPlease contact Dr. Daniel Rubinoff: 416.709.8381 doctor.rimbala@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Rise Again! The Songs of Stan Rogers at The Rosedale Centre
DESCRIPTION:Stan Rogers is widely recognized as one of the very finest singer-songwriters that Canada has ever produced\, and while it has been over forty years since he was tragically taken from us\, his music lives on and is being heard around the world. Just over twenty years ago\, Stan’s record producer\, Paul Mills and his widow Ariel Rogers\, were approached by Hugh’s Room about putting together a Stan tribute concert at the club. They put together a group of eight artists who performed a collection of Stan’s wonderful songs. The show was a huge hit with the Hugh’s Room audience to the point where they were asked to make it an annual event. \nThe Stan tribute show became a tradition and has been presented by Hugh’s Room ever since. After a brief hiatus\, Paul and Ariel are delighted to be bringing it to our stage again. The November show features six singers: James Keelaghan\, Treasa Levasseur\, Bill Craig\, Ariel Rogers\, Trevor Mills and Beth Rogers. It also features an all-star back-up band which includes Paul Mills (guitar)\, David Woodhead (bass)\, Tom Leighton (piano and accordion) and Don Reed (fiddle). \nThese will be evenings of magic\, nostalgia and a resounding celebration of Stan Rogers’ outstanding musical legacy. There will be two performances not to be missed\, Friday November 15 at Rosedale Centre. \n$45 (plus tax and fees) in advance\, $55 (plus tax) at the door \nFor tickets: https://www.showpass.com/rise-again/ and the Facebook Event link for the same: https://facebook.com/2193728974293799
