Musician and Author Hoping to Help Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients With Virtual Concerts

New York-based flutist and journalist Eugenia Zuckerman is using her musical talent to try to comfort people with Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia during the coronavirus crisis by performing free virtual concerts, reports Boston 25 News . "Music can make people feel so much better and feel like they can go on," she said. Zuckerman, a Massachusetts native, has Alzheimer's, and her most recent concert was at Massachusetts General Hospital for their Dementia Care Collaborative. She hopes that hearing her music can help others in isolation cope with loneliness. "I believe it with my heart and soul it is everything to me, it is a language of its own," Zuckerman said.
