A CONCERT is being held in a residential home this week.
The Music in Hospitals charity is visiting Acorn Grange Nursing Home, Durham, on Wednesday.
Gayathrie and William Patrick will be performing their style of music and song.
They met in Sri Lanka, after which William encouraged Gayathrie to travel to London to fulfil her potential as an opera singer.
They have since married and she now sings around the world.
Music in Hospitals organises 4,000 concerts each year.
The idea is bring the therapeutic benefits of live music to adults and children whose lives are restricted by illness or disability.
Diana Greenman, chief executive of Music in Hospitals, said: "There is recognition in the healthcare profession that exposure to high quality live music produces clear and measurable benefits in patients and residents with a wide range of conditions."
