The Volunteer Musician Program
About Our Volunteer Musician Program
The Volunteer Musician Program is designed to offer quality live music that supports a relaxing, pleasing, and personal experience for patients, families, and staff at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. We are not accepting pianists or vocalists at this time.
What does a Volunteer Musician do?
Volunteer Musicians provide relaxing music to enhance the lobby environments of the Rosenberg, Farr, and Feldberg Buildings, as well as the lobby of the Shapiro Outpatient Center. Volunteers work closely with the Program Supervisor to ensure that high quality service is delivered and that Volunteer Musicians are comfortable playing in a medical center setting.
