Join AARP Vermont for Fun, Discounted Events!

Did you know that making and enjoying music can stimulate your brain, trigger memories and emotions, connect you with other people and enrich your life, according to a report from AARP’s Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH).

Music engages multiple parts of the brain — including those involved in memory, thinking skills, movement, attention, language and emotion — and helps them work together, according to the report, which is based on a review of scientific literature by independent experts.

During that fateful week, cultures clashed and nerves ran high—but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

King James by Rajiv Joseph
LeBron James’ extraordinary tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers brought hope to a city that had lost its sense of promise. In this new play, spanning the 12 years from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship, two men navigate a turbulent friendship through their shared love of basketball in a timely reminder of the power of sports to connect, inspire, and unite us in good times and bad.
