A Variety Arts Experience for Seniors

Junkyard Symphony brings the joy of rhythm, creativity, and play to seniors through an uplifting, interactive performance that turns everyday junk into extraordinary instruments. Designed especially for older adults, this program offers a unique variety arts experience—full of street-style energy, humour, and music that invites participation and connection. Each senior is given a reused instrument to help feed the rhythm, while the most spirited participants are invited to shine in the spotlight. Through laughter, movement, and music, this performance proves that youthful energy can be reignited at any age. As Gloria Estefan said, “The rhythm is going to get you”—and in this unforgettable experience, it most certainly will!
