Staff and patients were delighted to welcome former Royal Harpist to the Prince of Wales, Hannah Stone, to Ty Olwen yesterday. She gave a performance as part of the ‘Music Live Now’ scheme which aims to take music to those unable to join live performances. Health Care Worker Nicola Bueno said “The harpist made our patients and family’s smile at a really difficult time. (It) Was so beautiful. On there web site they say that ‘Visiting a hospital, whether you are seriously ill, having a routine check up or seeing a friend or relative, can be stressful and upsetting. A carefully chosen programme of live music can provide a soothing atmosphere in a busy hospital for everyone, including staff.
For patients living with terminal or life-limiting conditions, a regular programme of interactive music sessions can have therapeutic benefits and enhance quality of life.’
