Melodies of Memories
Familiar music for elders and patients — the melodies of their time
Goal Touch 1,000 lives — achieved: 1,100+
Loneliness is one of the hardest parts of growing old. Melodies of Memories answers it with music: Victoria visits senior-care homes, cancer and palliative-care centres and senior-living communities to play the songs her audiences grew up with.
Between February 2025 and April 2026, nine documented outreach events recorded more than 1,100 estimated beneficiary attendances — completing The Change Maker Challenge goal of touching 1,000 lives. Every performance was voluntary and unpaid, and each event has an independent verification contact.
The initiative was recognised in 2026 with a UN-partnered "Heroes of Tomorrow" Impact Award.
These are goodwill recitals, not clinical music therapy or medical treatment.
“I love to play music for the elderly and the sick — the music of their times. As I believe music is healing.”♥ Support this programme Request a performance
