100 people from four under-served elder communities participated in Vintage Voices, and reported improved mental and physical health benefits. To assess the program’s major achievements, The Improve Group conducted interviews with activity directors from each choir host site. Choir members provided feedback during wrap-up sessions, after the final performance, and after attending a VocalEssence concert. In the first weeks of rehearsal, members were asked about their reasons for joining the choir in order to help determine whether the benefits they received matched the goals they had at the beginning of the choir experience. 2: Vintage Voices removed the barriers of cost, mobility, and access to participation, allowing an under-served community to participate in the arts.
