Striking a chord

AGE CONCERN

Marbella and San Pedro have announced that they received a heartwarming donation in the form of an elegant grand piano.

The grand piano which is worth a staggering €8,000 was a generous donation from local couple Christine and John Lord. The piano has now been relocated to CK La Quinta, a residence for mature residents in the Marbella area.

The grand piano now provides live music for the residents of the local residence home. Since Tuesday, July 11, Age Concern volunteers have been hosting lively afternoons of singing and dancing every Tuesday. The grand piano adds even more fun and joy to the event, uplifting the spirits of the residents, who look forward to the sessions.

The Age Concern volunteers and residents have even created their own song titled the ‘CK La Quinta Tuesday Afternoon’, inspired by the classic tune by The Moody Blues. The lyrics go like this: “Tuesday afternoon, I’m just beginning to see, now I’m on my way, it doesn’t matter to me, chasing the clouds away.”

Age Concern Marbella and San Pedro also received a generous donation of over €3,000 from the International Theatre Society. The funds were raised during the recent Lark in the Park Midsummer Night’s Dream event.
