All Newton’s Musical Memory Café is an informal social gathering for people with cognitive changes and their care partners. Guests are welcome regardless of diagnosis. Attendees can connect with fellow community members while enjoying a musical performance by some of All Newton Music School's outstanding faculty, with tea, coffee, and treats to follow. 

The Café is hosted and facilitated by board certified music therapist Cheyenne Mize with musical support from pianist Kim Petot. Join us in making a joyful noise!
