The Coping with Dementia Care Partner Conference scheduled to take place in the Savanna Center on October 30th will open with a welcoming concert performed by Cornocopia, a French horn trio of accomplished musicians who live in The Villages.
The trio will consist of Tica Lossee, who taught music in the Baltimore City Public Schools for 32 years; Karen Buckley, a post-graduate piano and horn student at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester and the University of Connecticut; and Lesan Van Sickle, a Bachelor of Music in horn performance at Baldwin-Wallace College, and Master of Music at the Manhattan School of Music who played professionally for 13 years.
Doors open for the conference at 9:30 a.m. where the trio will perform while attendees are visiting the educational presentations of more than 30 Resource Partners. Music will continue until the speaking program begins at 10 a.m.
The performance by Cornocopia has been made possible by the sponsorship of Joan Bender and Dick Boyden of Our Moment Café Inc., an award-winning Memory Café program conducted twice a month at two venues in The Villages. Our Moment Café will have an information table at the conference, along with several other dementia adult day and social therapy programs.
