What we do
The Iris Music Project integrates professional musicians within retirement communities, nursing homes, and other healthcare institutions.
All musicians are trained in the unique model established by the Iris Piano Trio at the Charles E. Smith Life Communities, in Rockville, MD.
Iris Piano Trio
Iris Piano Trio uses a collaborative, non-traditional approach to music-making, by sharing the design of performances and other programs, and by supporting community members as they create their own musical projects. Through performance, design, and discussion, our holistic approach creates meaningful connections across generations and transforms the lives of everyone involved.
Maryland State Arts Council
Iris Music Project is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
