We wish you well during this festival period and look forward to being back with you in the New Year. In the meantime, we're revisiting a highlight from our first series with the brilliant Rebecca Evans CBE. 
 
The Grammy award-winning soprano talks about her career and how important supporting the dementia community is to her.  
 
We also explore the power of music to unlock memories and provide comfort to those living with dementia. Prof Julie explains the neurological basis for why music memory persists even as other cognitive functions decline.  
 
Rebecca talks about witnessing Alzheimer’s for the first time as a nurse and shares her experiences as an ambassador of the Forget Me Nots Chorus, which uses music to support individuals with dementia and their caregivers.  
 
 We are aware that the Christmas and New Year period can be a difficult time for those living with or caring for someone with Dementia. Please remember you can always reach out for any help or advice at https://www.alzheimers.org.uk
