Our Intergenerational Program
Supporting young people as they provide uplifting experiences for isolated older adults and those with physical or cognitive limitations.
A safe, inclusive space for people to alleviate social isolation through music and outreach.
The CiM Intergenerational Program connects young musicians and changemakers with older adults who encourage students to believe in their power to transform lives.
Our programming positively impacts young people and older adults in many ways. We offer performance and non performance based opportunities for students of all ages to get involved with Concerts in Motion. Students from schools throughout New York City and beyond can serve communities in need with their unique skills and talents.
Youth concerts are performed on weekday afternoons during the school year. Our current concert calendar is available on our website.
Intergenerational Open Mics
We host intergenerational open mics throughout the year! We can present these on Zoom or at your preferred location, where performers of all ages can share their creativity!
Are you a teacher or a community partner interested in planning an open mic event? Interested in joining our virtual open mics? Give us a shout, and we’ll reach out to tell you more!
Youth Roster
We welcome high school students who want to make a difference in the lives of socially isolated people. Our Youth Roster weaves together service, outreach, and music. Students can:
perform in or host concerts and special open mic events in communities throughout NYC
participate in professional development, personal growth and Person-Centered Trauma Informed Care (PCTIC) training sessions
develop relationships with CiM Alumni, professional musicians, and community leaders
All students on our Roster can earn community service credit for their participation. We are an approved certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service Awards Program. At the end of their school year commitment, students will receive a certificate of completion. And after graduation—we welcome students to our CiM Alumni cohort!
To learn more about the Youth Roster, please contact Zenobia Johnson, Program Coordinator at zenobiajohnson@concertsinmotion.org.

Youth Concert Calendar
“As much as playing the piano makes me happy, playing for others is equally as important to me. Being able to play for people who I care about brings me so much joy. Having the opportunity to connect with them and hear their voices and see their smiles gives me comfort, knowing that they’re doing okay.”
J.B.,
CiM Youth Alum
