The Aquatic Park Older Adult Choir is one of 13 older adult choirs coordinated by the CMC in partnership with a host senior or community center. Each choir participated in the 5-year Community of Voices research study, a three-way partnership between the Institute on Health & Aging at the University of California San Francisco, the Community Music Center, and the Department of Aging and Adult Services, supported by a grant from the NIH National Institute on Aging. The study, which examined the benefits of singing in a choir for older adults, found that participants experienced a reduction in loneliness and an increasing interest in life.
