Healing through the Arts

Current and past Artists

Some of the fine Musicians who perform for patients and staff in Hospitals and Care Facilities around Manitoba, brought to you by Artists in Healthcare Manitoba:

Anne-Marie Williot is a trilingual multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter hailing from rural Quebec, and now based in Winnipeg. A honed poet and performer, she writes and sings in a deliciously melodic blend of old and new sounds, often evocative of candle-lit cafes. In recent years, the accordion has become her main instrument.  Her latest album is entitled Cheval Géant.
Lyndon W. Bournon
Luciano Armenti, “The Travelling Accordionist” musician at Selkirk Mental Health Centre.

Selkirk Mental Health Centre (SMHC) has been the lucky recipient of music therapy through Luciano Armenti. Luciano spends the majority of his time at SMHC with the patients of the Geriatric Program. He brings his accordion with him and moves throughout the building so that he can spend time with as many patients as possible. Many patients look forward to his visits and ask about him repeatedly throughout the week.

Lois Gillespieis a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and recording artist. She has performed locally and nationally for the past twenty years and her passion is to share music with audiences large or small. She loves shoes and all things pink or purple.
In his final year of the Jazz Studies program at the University of Manitoba, guitarist and vocalist Kyle Cobb is quickly becoming a staple of the music scene in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Possessing excellent technique on the guitar and an expansive repertoire, Kyle plays and sings with an effortless musicality.
