Connecting Stars

Developed in response to the pandemic, Connecting Stars provides live and interactive virtual performances for care home residents nationwide. Delivered by some of the UK’s most exciting musicians and dancers, our innovative model provides high-quality performance and well-being support for those most in need. 

 

Connecting Stars was the brainchild of Constella’s Artistic Director, Leo Geyer, who came up with the idea after talking to his own grandmother and playing his bassoon for her via Zoom, to cheer her up during the first weeks of the pandemic.

 

Constella has been running Connecting Stars since May 2020, and we now deliver concerts to care homes in all four nations of the UK, and have collaborated with over 100 care homes. To date, we have delivered 2,000 performances and the project continues to bring high-quality performances to elderly and disabled people,  many of whom are still dealing with the ongoing effects of the pandemic and isolated due to health conditions.

 

We are honoured to have received awards for this programme.
