Senior Living: Enjoying the symphony

There is a senior living community for musicians in Milan, Italy called Casa Verdi. It’s a beautiful retirement home for Guiseppe Verdi (famous Italian composer) Foundation musicians. The property is appointed in a classical 19th century style, with piano rooms, decorative areas, and other features for composers and orchestral musicians over age 65 to enjoy a rich retirement experience. It’s a unique community for people who have made careers in the symphony, and it allows them to continue their work in a specialized senior living environment with their retired colleagues.

 

Learning about Casa Verdi does cause us to ask how many older adults have taken the time to enjoy the symphony. Music has the ability to add rich experiences to life, and provides listeners and performers with many personal wellness benefits. Developing an appreciation of the symphony does require an investment of time and learning, and the payoff for this effort is an expanded mind and personal sense of calm and peace. If you’ve never had the chance to attend a symphony performance, or have only experienced a symphony once or twice, retirement is wonderful time to explore it.

 

As a senior living community in Los Angeles, we’re located near renowned venues like the Walt Disney Concert Hall where you can see the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra.
