Donate NowYoung Oregonians Shine a Light on Alzheimer’s Through the Power of Music
A student-led group of musicians raise dollars and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association during Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month.
Beaverton, OR — At first glance, they might seem like your typical high school students, attending classes, participating in extracurriculars, and leading complicated social lives. But the members of Music4Harmony are anything but typical. These young musicians, ranging from age fourteen to eighteen, have turned their passion for music into a powerful force for good. They have raised over $85,000 for charitable causes, from disaster relief to autism, and now, supporting the Oregon & SW Washington Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
Founded in 2022 by four friends, Music4Harmony got its start as a quartet with a big heart. They started playing at children's hospitals and retirement centers, bringing the gift of music to those who most needed comfort and connection.
"We realized how powerful music can be, not just to heal, but to unite people and inspire action," said one member.
Now around two-dozen members, Music4Harmony hosts monthly events. Partnering with Village Church in Beaverton, their June concert is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's disease. The Association is inspired by the compassion and initiative shown by young people like those in Music4Harmony. It will take community interest, commitment, and action from all age groups and areas of life to address the public health crisis of Alzheimer's.
Music4Harmony is a reminder that age is no barrier to impact. With every note they play, these students are raising awareness, making connections, and creating a more compassionate world.
