The Peninsula Singers raise the roof for charity multiple times each year. The spring concert this year brought music to the ears of those living out their years at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital.
“It seems a good fit with what we do and what the foundation does,” said Virginia Rouslin of Peninsula Singers. “We were able to double our donation after this concert as our ticket sales went so well.”
Peninsula Singers donated $2,000 for the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation to put toward the music therapy program.
"Music therapy can lessen feelings of loneliness, alleviate anxiety and reduce the perception of physical pain. It is an important part of caring for people at the end of life,” said Karen Morgan, executive director of the foundation. “Peninsula Singers' wonderful concerts are a heartfelt and particularly appropriate way to support this program in the palliative care unit at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital."
