Printed programs in large-format type.

Multi-community discount when a chain or operator books across properties.

Beyond the monthly series

For your residents' most meaningful moments.

Beyond the standing concert series, communities have engaged the duo for memorial gatherings, dedications, milestone celebrations, and family-day programs. The voice + flute + guitar combination carries weight in moments that call for it without overwhelming a room.

If your community has a particular event in mind — a memorial for a beloved resident, a wing dedication, a centennial, a quiet evening for hospice families — we will build a program for it.

“Through their performance of beautiful music, the Dearing Concert Duo created the perfect mood at our event. The duo has the rare combination of musicianship and personality that engages an audience.” The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy, P.C., O.C., O.M. Then-Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister · Organization of American States event

Common Questions

Booking questions, answered

Does the duo perform in independent living, assisted living, and memory care settings?

Yes. Programs are adapted for memory care — shorter sets, more familiar repertoire, a slower pace between pieces.

Volume and amplification?

The duo performs without amplification in most community spaces. For larger great rooms, a small two-microphone setup is used.

How long does a concert run?

Forty-five minutes to an hour, plus a fifteen-minute meet-and-greet by request.

Can we book a single concert before committing to a series?

Yes. Many communities start with a single concert and convert to a monthly or quarterly series after.

Multi-property pricing for senior-living operators?

A standard multi-property rate applies when a chain or operator books across two or more communities in a single agreement.

Theme programs for holidays?

Yes. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Father's Day, Fourth of July — each has a prepared theme set on file.
