Parma Comes Alive Inside

Parma has a history of being a Rock & Roll town dating back to concerts by Peter Frampton and other rockers at Byer's Field. Following in that tradition, the Alive Inside Foundation, as a kick-off to the launch of their "Adopt An Elder/Build A Bridge" Program with students from Director Kristopher S. Morron's Valley Forge High School Music Ed Department is bringing Legendary Emerson,Lake & Palmer drummer Carl Palmer and the ELP Legacy Band to the Valley Forge High School Auditorium on Saturday June 18, 2016 for some Rock with A Purpose. The event doors open at 4 PM, and the event begins at 5 PM  

Alive Inside Film and Foundation Director Michael Rossato Bennett formed the Alive Inside Foundation after realizing during the making of the 2014 Sundance Audience Award-Winning documentary "Alive Inside" that there was an important need to establish a bonding of the generations in our society. He understood that music, while being miraculously effective as a therapy for many ills including Alzheimer's and Dementia, is also the Universal language that all generations and cultures speak and respond to. The "Adopt An Elder" Program is our way of using that shared language and addressing the need to foster human connection between young and old. The program is currently active in 11 Cities/Schools in the United States. Valley Forge will make Number 12 with plans of expanding nationally, hopefully globally in the future. 

We provide Elders that have Alzheimer's / Dementia with the Technology to hear the “Personal” Soundtracks to their Lives by recruiting and training young people to discover and deliver them. Our young volunteers have also received our Empathy education. Watch this video clip just shot in Orlando & get an idea of what we have to offer our local Communities. You'll be astounded and moved.                               https://vimeo.com/162722884

We can rekindle memories for elders while transforming their lives and the lives of young people around the world. More information, videos and advance tickets can be found here:
