Dr. Irene Messoloras, conductor

7 p.m. pre-concert panel talk in partnership with UCI MIND
Irvine Barclay Theatre
Experience the profound journey of Alzheimer's through music in a powerful event featuring soloists, choir, percussion, and piano, brought to life by 200 voices. This contemporary and melodic work is divided into three movements in an effort to capture three different perspectives and follow the arc of the disease, from consciousness to unconsciousness. The first movement delves deep into Alzheimer's disease, beginning with the origins of its discovery, the story of how it came about, and its statistical impact on society. The second part features poignant texts written by Alzheimer's patients, sharing their memories and personal stories, creating a beautiful and impactful narrative. The final section shifts to the emotional journey of caregivers, highlighting the challenges they face and the power of music to bring patients back to the present. Enhanced with supertitles for clarity and moving visuals honoring patients and their families, this performance is more than just a concert—it's a tribute and a call to action. Join us in raising awareness and supporting the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Generous support for Finding Light: Alzheimer's Stories by Robert S. Cohen is provided by UCI MIND, friends of Choral Activities, the Marjorie & Rawlins Endowed Fund, the Claire Trevor Society, and Professor Emeritus Joseph Huszti.
