Maybe you’re not a musician. Maybe you don’t have time to serve on a board of directors. Maybe you don’t have family in a care facility. But, just as people in big cities know the value of wilderness, and just as people without animal companions know the value of having a pet, every human spirit knows the healing power of live music.

Heart & Soul was started in 1994 when siblings, Doug Jenson and Janna Lauer saw the isolation and loneliness their mother suffered upon entering a rehabilitation facility due to a broken hip complicated with dementia. Their mother had been the musical center of their family - and they knew that music was the language that helps to transcend loneliness and that brings us all together.

Theatre created by, for, and about seniors, performed at care communities in Davis County in this co-production with Plan-B Theater and the Davis Arts Council, in partnership with Heart & Soul. 

For the ninth year, Heart & Soul, along with the neighbors surrounding the Imperial Park, will present our incredible, free, family-friendly Music Stroll in Sugarhouse, June 10, 2023.

40 musical acts will perform on 13 porches, driveways, and lawns—or on our main stage—throughout this Sugar House neighborhood (along with an ocean of food trucks). Join us as Heart & Soul celebrates 29 years of bringing the healing power of music to isolated neighbors along the Wasatch Front.

Join us for a FREE concert with two of Heart and Soul's favorite bands!
