We perform under an enclosed marquee and also have the option to feed sound into the care homes via speakers. We also have portable heating to enable us to perform outside during the winter months.\u00a0We hope that given the level of vaccination for Covid-19 that in home concerts will be possible for 2021. The residents are given the play lists in advance and the group will also facilitate special requests of residents. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":14689,"template":"","class_list":["post-14688","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Music in Older Healthcare Settings - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Covid\u00a0Care\u00a0Concerts\u00a0is a new initiative created by acclaimed Irish cellist Gerald Peregrine.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/music-in-older-healthcare-settings\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Music in Older Healthcare Settings - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Covid\u00a0Care\u00a0Concerts\u00a0is a new initiative created by acclaimed Irish cellist Gerald Peregrine.
