A dynamic session offering fresh perspectives and practical, accessible ways to use music in care & community settings.
Dr Claire Garabedian brings decades of experience as a modern and baroque cellist, Certified Music Practitioner, educator, and postdoctoral researcher specialising in the arts and dementia. Her work bridges performance, research, and therapeutic practice, exploring music as a powerful vehicle for connection—particularly within marginalised and difficult-to-reach populations.
Using research examples, anecdotes, live cello music, multimedia, and audience engagement, Claire delivers a dynamic session offering fresh perspectives and practical, accessible ways to use music creatively in care and community settings. She has trained healthcare staff and families, presented on BBC Radio 4 and at the Hay Festival
