Forever Young: Seniors' Wednesdays
Forever Young celebrates lifelong connections to music, offering free Studio Bell admission for music lovers aged 65 and up every Wednesday, plus monthly drop-in programs featuring interactive experiences for all ages.
This engaging program invites seniors and their families to explore Canada’s musical heritage across five floors of exhibitions, bringing to life the stories — and soundtrack — of their generation through rare memorabilia and hands-on activities. Part of the National Music Centre’s commitment to using music as a tool for wellbeing, Forever Young creates welcoming spaces for seniors to gather and connect with music, community, and each other. Monthly drop-in programs will feature a variety of interactive experiences for all ages that spark memories, inspire creativity, and create connections across generations.
Seniors' Wednesdays
Studio Bell admission is free for seniors (65+) every Wednesday from May 6 to November 4, 2026.
With five floors of exhibitions and striking architecture to explore, Studio Bell offers a bevy of experiences for seniors. NMC’s entire fifth floor celebrates Canadian Music Hall of Famers past and present, from an expansive exhibition dedicated to legendary Canadian jazz pianist and inaugural Hall of Fame member Oscar Peterson to the newest NMC feature exhibit honouring 2026 inductee Nelly Furtado. Many of Canada’s biggest names are woven throughout the building with rare memorabilia and hands-on experiences that invite visitors to make music or play alongside a Hall of Famer.
Seniors, please visit the front desk upon arrival to redeem your free admission.
