This year, Bill Lowe, President of Chicago Methodist Senior Services (CMSS) has been sharing his passion for 1960s and 1970s rock and roll in a four-part series of presentations called “Music Makers.” “At CMSS, we believe in the power of connection – whether through music or meaningful conversation. By blending my passion for rock music with these webinars for older adults, we’re creating a space where nostalgia meets new learning, stories are shared, and the energy of rock and roll reminds us that age is a number.”
On April 18, Bill will lead a final listening session as part of his Music Makers series. See below for additional details on next week’s final session.
