About Music for health and care

Musik i Syd takes performances to groups that cannot attend concerts in person at regular venues. In Music for health and care, we place great emphasis on communication between artists and audiences. We offer a range of performances, offering something for all tastes and needs. We use a great variety of musicians, who are all passionate about everyone’s right to culture.

In spring 2021, a development centre was launched with the aim of developing health-promoting methods and strengthening people’s right to culture, regardless of illness or limited mobility.

Musik i Syd has had an outreach activity for many years with a varied range of performances for groups that cannot participate in the general music scene themselves. In spring 2021, a development centre will be launched with the aim of developing methods that promote health and strengthen people’s right to culture, regardless of illness or limited mobility. Research and experience indicate the health-promoting effects of culture in a number of areas, although the need for further evidence is still considerable. Research will therefore be one of the development centre’s four key pillars, together with competence development, participation and digitisation. The development centre is supported by Region Skåne and run in close collaboration with e.g. The Betania Foundation, Lund University and Linnaeus University.

Seven pilot projects are ready for implementation in 2021. These include an interdisciplinary project about using music as a healing force for young people’s existential health, Break the silence, Music at emergency and X-ray clinics at SUS Malmö, in collaboration with Malmö Opera, and Music in forensic psychiatry, in collaboration with Linnaeus University.
