Each BAMSI major contributes to establishing a relationship with a new community partner or stewarding an already-existing partnership over the course of three years. An important part of the program is recruiting other students to contribute to these projects and preparing a plan to hand over the work before graduation, so the community partner relationship continues beyond the contributions of any one student.

Ian recruits musicians to perform (either small, pre-established chamber groups like barbershop or brass quintet) or spontaneously created ensembles (the roster of musicians change every time). One or two concerts per semester emphasize interaction between musicians and audience. Participants suggest themes, like Mardi Gras, and Ian selects repertoire. Student performers actively participate in introducing themselves and the songs they are leading. The conclusion of the music makes way for a wonderful period of interaction, allowing for intergenerational connections to form over coffee and cookies. Students are expected to stay and socialize after the performance; the music is a catalyst for conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n            <article  class=\"is-style-default accordion__row site-panel__accordion-item \" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" id=\"accordion-69e1fd04322b3-header-1\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69e1fd04322b3-content-1\">\n        \t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"is-style-default accordion__header site-panel__accordion-title clearfix\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"title\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n        \t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <span class=\"is-style-default accordion__header-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCanci\u00f3n Comunitaria: Community Cohesion through Music\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n                <div\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-69e1fd04322b3-header-1\"\n\t\t\t\t\t class=\"is-style-default accordion__content site-panel__accordion-content context-content t-content \"\t\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-69e1fd04322b3-content-1\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"tabpanel\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"accordion_content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n                >\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"is-style-default accordion__content-inner context-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Project Partner:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northfield Public Library<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Project Description<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The student project lead is working on plans to facilitate the creation of a community song for Northfield, a song that describes what Northfield is for Latine residents, reflecting their ideals for what Northfield is and\/or should be \u2013 a \u201cNorthfield anthem.\u201d The project lead will partner with Latine musicians in Northfield to facilitate community reflection\/journaling sessions so that the community is participating in the creation of this song.

Too often when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia, there is an immediate sense of despair and loss which is compounded by misunderstanding in the greater community. As symptoms worsen, these feelings only multiply and individuals self-isolate, increasing the weight of responsibility on care partners. This choral program was developed using the neurologically proven impact of music to increase wellbeing, to increase feelings of value and worth as singers spend time rehearsing and socializing together in a welcoming environment, and to spread understanding by educating audiences through performance. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stolaf.edu\/profile\/kivell1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristin Kivell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directs the \u201cLifting Voices Chorus\u201d which began rehearsing in January 2026.

To date this has primarily involved working with patient support groups. There\u2019s an ambition to create a database of recorded St. Olaf performances for patients to access during treatment. We have some material to offer on what music looks like as a process in the brain and the body, and hope to lead a vibrant discussion considering the significance of music and the connections we make. Gentle humming and clapping along with a guitar will be included as part of an activity planned to demonstrate and practice the points of our conversation.
