Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Live Music Now: UK-based charity founded by Yehudi Menuhin that brings professional musicians to hospitals, care homes, and special schools. Comparable because Les Concerts du Cœur explicitly partners with this organization and replicates its core concert-in-care model across Swiss cantons.
• Musicians on Call: US-based non-profit bringing live and recorded music to patients in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Comparable service model, target population (hospitalized patients), and non-profit funding structure, with broader geographic reach and digital delivery components.
• Hospital Audiences Inc. US non-profit providing entertainment programs to people isolated in healthcare settings. Directly comparable mission (bringing cultural experiences to isolated/institutionalized individuals) and operating model combining volunteer artists with institutional partnerships.
• Music in Hospitals & Care: UK charity delivering live music performances in hospitals, care homes, and hospices. Comparable as a long-established organization that uses professional musicians to serve elderly and clinical populations, with similar fundraising and institutional partnership structures.
• Musique & Santé: French non-profit that brings musicians into hospitals and healthcare facilities. Directly comparable model targeting hospitalized patients and isolated individuals through trained professional musicians, with a similar mission and target beneficiary base.

Others

• Fondation Leenards: Swiss foundation supporting cultural and social projects for elderly populations in the Vaud and Geneva regions. Comparable as a major financial partner of Les Concerts du Cœur with overlapping mission around cultural access for older adults, but functions as a funder rather than a service provider.
• HEMU - Haute École de Musique de Lausanne: Swiss music conservatory that is a formal partner of Les Concerts du Cœur. Comparable as a pipeline for professional musicians and a training partner, but its core business is degree-based music education rather than delivering concerts in care settings.

Broad incumbents

• Settle Music: US-based community music school offering music education and performance programs in Philadelphia. Comparable in deploying professional musicians in community settings, though broader in mission (education plus performances) and much larger in operational scale.
• Sistema Scotland: Scottish social-impact music charity running orchestral programs for children and young people in disadvantaged communities. Comparable as a music-led social impact organization with institutional partnerships and public funding, though focused on youth rather than elderly care.

Regional players

• Concerts in Care Ontario: Canadian non-profit delivering professional live music concerts in long-term care homes and seniors' residences. Comparable service model and target beneficiary base (elderly in care homes) but operates in a different geographic market (Ontario, Canada).
