“TURTLE SONG WAS A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF PURE WONDER AND FUN, AFTER WEEKS OF COLLABORATION, REHEARSALS, WRITING MUSIC, LYRICISING, TEA DRINKING AND LUXURY BISCUIT SCOFFING FOR PEOPLE OF VARYING AGES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, FUN AND ENLIVENING. I WAS SO TOUCHED BY THE EFFORT AND LOVE THAT THE ORGANISERS/FOUNDERS OF THIS EVENT AND THE MUSIC STUDENTS PUT INTO THIS PERFORMANCE.” - Daughter of a participant
