Nearly a million people–and rising–live with dementia in the UK. BAFTA-winning actor Vicky McClure MBE shares the moving story behind Our Dementia Choir and how music is medicine – bringing joy, connection, and a voice to people living with the condition. Joined by Leeds Playhouse’s Dr Nicky Taylor, a pioneer in accessible theatre and an advocate in how the arts can offer hope in life with dementia, this talk culminates in a heartfelt live performance by the documentary-famed choir.
