Young@Heart

Posted on January 15, 2010 by Ronald T. Brown, Ph.D.

I saw the documentary about “Young@Heart” on PBS the other night. I found it quite inspiring.

Young@Heart Chorus is a fluctuating group of about two dozen singers in Northhampton MA, whose average age is 80.

The documentary concentrates on the rigorous preparation for a 2006 concert at the Academy Theater in Northampton. Guided by the chorus’s demanding longtime director, Bob Cilman - instead of comfortable walks around the block, rehearsals (three a week) are demanding hikes over hilly terrain - yet the challenge only makes the “summit” that more exciting.

* The first video clip is a song sang during their performance at the theater. The second clip is an earlier performance for inmates. Enjoy.
