UK charity records original music by people living with dementia

Project aims to unlock memories and sensations for participants while creating nine-track CD, recorded at Glyndebourne

On a stage once presided over by Luciano Pavarotti, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Renee Fleming, people living with dementia are recording songs of their own composition.

With the microphones of Glyndebourne opera house capturing every note, their voices rise and intertwine. Not echoing old, familiar tunes but shaping entirely new pieces expressing their feelings, hopes and fears - emotions that, when the music stops, their brains can no longer convey in mere words.
