"The Music Never Stopped"

MARCH is MUSIC THERAPY MONTH in CANADA

To mark the occasion, the Atlantic Association for Music Therapy (AAMT) is
sponsoring a screening of the feature film"The Music Never Stopped". The film is based on a case study by Dr. Oliver Sacks. The story chronicles the journey of a father and son adjusting to cerebral trauma and a lifetime of missed opportunities. Through the intervention of a music therapist, Henry and Gabriel rebuild their relationship, connecting via the music that embodied the generation gap of the 1960s.

"The Music Never Stopped" was an official selection for the Sundance film
festival in 2012. These events in Halifax and Wolfville are the first time this feature will be shown in Canada. Come out and enjoy this excellent film on the big screen.

The screenings will take place at the Oxford Theatre in Halifax on Saturday

Monday, March 5th at 7:30 PM with time after the screening for a Q & A.
