As we launch our renewed engagement with the Long-Term Care Community, we can think of no better Keynote Guest than the irrepressible Roberto Martella. His difficult health challenges and his response to them are a testament to his joie de vivre and an inspiration to us all.

Canadian virtuoso pianist Tony Yike Yang will present an intriguing program of classical and contemporary selections at Koerner Hall on January 23.
Not only is Tony an outstanding keyboard professional, but he is also a unique character who uses classical music to discover meaning rather than pursue a career. He is also a noble and generous humanitarian.
As a featured artist of Looking at the Stars, he has generously shared his talent with the incarcerated in Lithuania and the US.

We are very excited to announce our FIRST EVENT SERIES in the U.S.A.
These five events in two States mark the culmination of our focused efforts to introduce American facilities to the important work that Looking at the Stars has done in Canada and Europe, restoring dignity and hope to those who may have lost these important attributes. We are optimistic that there will be many opportunities ahead to present to other American facilities.
