Hearts & Voices Facilities
Hearts & Voices has hosted performances at a number of locations in the NYC area over the years. We build longterm relationships with facilities and residents that allow us give long term musical support to people. Many residents have told me they look forward to our regular music visits. It is a hightlight of their week or month. The musicians often build strong connects with a specific facility and will return there on a regular basis.
Here is a list of our current roster of facilities:
