San Ramon, California -
Harmony & Healing is excited to announce a new series of events focused on using music to bring comfort to those in medical settings. The goal is to highlight how music can improve emotional and mental well-being, giving patients and their families a unique kind of support when they need it the most.
One of the main events was a Benefit Concert, which was presented in October 2024. The concert raised money and awareness for Harmony & Healing's programs that reach out to hospitals, clinics, and care facilities. Visit their website to learn more about the event featuring BRITAIN'S FINEST, a Beatles tribute band, and how it helped fund the organization's services.

"Music is a universal language that speaks directly to the heart, transcending the walls of hospitals and reaching those who need encouragement and connection," said David Victor, founder of Harmony & Healing. "Our mission is to use music as a tool to bring peace and comfort to individuals who are facing health challenges."
For a long time, Harmony & Healing's volunteers and musicians have presented personalized musical experiences via Zoom for patients in hospice and hospitals. These sessions help calm the environment, providing emotional relief and easing anxiety and isolation common among patients. They bring people together and offer support beyond what traditional medicine can achieve.
Besides live performances, Harmony & Healing is focused on researching and finding new ways for music to help in healing. By studying how music affects the brain and emotions, they continue to improve their programs to fit patients' needs better. Those interested can learn more about the healing benefits of music at https://www.harmonyandhealing.org/how-music-helps-people-heal/.
At the core of Harmony & Healing's work is the belief that music plays a key role in enhancing life quality during medical treatment. They join forces with healthcare providers to include music sessions as part of patient care plans. These sessions don't just relax but also encourage creative expression and help balance emotions.
"I have seen countless smiles and tears of joy during our sessions. It's truly heartwarming to watch music work its magic, creating meaningful moments for patients and their loved ones," shared a Harmony & Healing volunteer. "Through community support, we are able to expand our reach and touch more lives each year."
Community support is vital for Harmony & Healing to keep offering these powerful experiences.

Contributions help pay musicians, buy equipment, and grow their programs.
These events are more than just performances. They're part of a larger plan to use music for healing in different medical situations. Harmony & Healing aims for each note to bring strength and calm to those in need, continually working to help more patients and families through their efforts.
By creating these shared musical experiences, Harmony & Healing wants to build a lasting presence in the healthcare community.

Through music, they hope to offer hope and belonging, showing how harmony can play a profound part in the healing journey.
