About Lifetimes In Harmony:
Our Mission: Lifetimes in Harmony (LIH) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2026 that seeks to provide music, created by passionate, skilled teenage musicians, to the elderly of New York City. We believe that all New Yorkers should be able to experience the joys of music, regardless of their age or physical capabilities.
What we do: LIH carries music throughout the Tri-state area by performing at various senior citizen centers and assisted living communities. In a city filled with skilled teenage musicians, we grant them the vital opportunity to present their passion and love for music. To prepare for our performances, we organize and host several rehearsals amongst a variety of different ensembles encompassing an array of different genres of music (pop, contemporary, classical, jazz, etc).
