PIANO
AND CHAMBER MUSIC
The
MLRA Music Committee schedules 11 concerts a year for residents,
paid for by voluntary contributions to the MLRA activity fund.
The performers are renowned professionals and Medford Leas is
pleased to provide pianists with a quality 7-foot Baldwin.
Frederick
Moyer was the performer at our May 12 concert. He has an extensive
repertoire and has played with major orchestras around the
world. At venues like Medford Leas he provides a "Notes and
Footnotes" program with commentary.

IN THE BACKYARD GARDEN
In
the summer there is series of musical programs in the Backyard
Garden, provided by the Medford Leas Department of Recreational
Therapy. The concerts, which are open to all residents, are
provided especially for those in the licensed units, many
of whom are brought to the garden in wheelchairs. Click the
