MusikSpitex is a non-profit project of Verein cassiopeia. At the interface of social engagement and healthcare, MusikSpitex promotes social and cultural inclusion of people of all ages in care situations.
The recognized non-profit project was founded in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic by musician and cultural manager Mirjam Toews. The concept is simple: Professional musicians play tailor-made personal concerts for people in care, whether young or old.
Individual concerts in people's own space - whether that is at home or in a care home - strengthen the social participation of people in care, promote their health and well-being. MusikSpitex ensures that the vulnerable group of people in care has something to look forward to.
Professional musicians bring music and entertainment directly to the people. This way, people can get to know new musical styles and instruments or even play or sing along.
The musicians of MusikSpitex are specifically prepared for their mission through comprehensive training in dealing with people in care, as well as medical and psychological first aid. MusikSpitex is also available for palliative therapy, as we want to help people to die with dignity.
MusikSpitex is a project of Verein cassiopeia.

We treat donations in memory of a loved one who has passed away with particular care. When someone dies, grieving families often forgo wreaths and flowers and instead ask for a donation to organizations that work to help people.
Every donation is personally acknowledged. As a bereaved family, you will receive a list of donors.
Thank you very much!
Many thanks also to the anonymous donors who do not wish to be named. Thank you very much for your trust in us!
* If required, we will also be happy to issue you a donation receipt for your tax return.
