A unique music concert experience for seniors

The after-dinner family sing-along is a fond childhood memory that many of our seniors have in common. Unlike many entertainers in our region, Peter’s repertoire focuses solely on late 19th-early 20th century popular music, the kind of music that families would sing together in the 1930’s, ’40’s and ’50’s. And, like an old-time family gathering, there are no laptops or computer-generated backing tracks. Just pure music created in real time by a master musician.

Cherished memories

“Parlour Songs” recreates those wonderful childhood moments. “I haven’t heard those songs in years!” and “I knew the words to every song!” are typical comments received after a show. What better way to spend an afternoon [or early evening] listening to and singing along with the most unique and engaging repertoire of songs in our region.

About the show

Performing over 250 shows a year since 2010, Peter Forêt is Eastern Ontario’s premier seniors’ entertainer. His 60 minute show features period costumes, skilled guitar playing, soulful singing, dry humour and an engaging personality. And, for your francophone residents, several french songs are included in the performance.

The 60 minute show has a relaxed and intimate feel, with plenty of interaction, eye contact and audience participation. Many local residences have been booking Peter for 8, 9, 10 years or more, and continue doing so to this day.
