Last year, we decided to offer 100 free Singing Valentines serenades for seniors 65-plus and the feedback we received from the recipients was amazing. So this year we continue to show love to our community by repeating the offer.
The idea to expand the personalized serenades grew out of Singing Valentines founder Wah Keung Chan’s grief at losing both his elderly father-in-law and father in a short span of time. “I want to do something special for seniors,” he said.
SERENADES
People across Canada—and around the world—will be able to order our popular Singing Valentines serenades. The professionally trained singers offer their time from Feb. 11 to 14 to spread the special gift of song and music this Valentine’s Day. A virtual concert of the best videos will be available as of Feb. 17.
To order a free serenade, visit our website to place the order by filling out the questionnaire order form, and we’ll choose the singer and the song for you.
For any personalized order, if you choose a specific singer and song, 50 per cent of the proceeds go to the artist. For a $30-$130 donation, you can provide your loved one with the romantic experience of a lifetime while supporting emerging talent.
Personalized serenades are offered via phone, FaceTime, recorded video and Zoom to ensure good audio quality.
PURPOSE
While the arts sector is slowly recovering after the pandemic, it remains important to fully support the professionals in the industry—and organizations like La Scena Musicale who bring music and culture to you! This year, we are accepting donations and sponsorship in order to pay the singers for the free serenades.
Our singers also enjoy spreading the love to those who need it: “I believe everybody was super content, and I had good fun singing,”said Gino Quilico, who was part of our 2019 roster.
Love comes in many forms. A hot coffee on a snowy day. A partner’s smile. An aria sung with passion. A connection on the phone between strangers. We hope you have a delightful celebration of the love in your life this February. If you are feeling inspired to spread the #LaScenaLove, considering donating to support our magazine.
“It has been a few years since I received such a wonderful gift from my husband… Hearing Deh vieni alla finestra was so much nicer than a card… Last month it made me cry in a very joyous way when the baritone called me, offering me the song my husband had chosen.” – Wendy Marston
