Event Details

Join Vigour Projects in celebrating its first annual concert “VigourFest” alongside the official launch of Vigour Projects: the first ever not-for-profit organization of its kind using music as a vehicle to build heart-healthy communities. VigourFest is a fundraising concert whose net proceeds will support the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario. The concert will promote great music, great artists, and great health through a variety of heart-healthy food samples and cooking demos.

Musicians performing include Aaliah Michaela, Adrian Anantawan, Dan Dwoskin, David Alter, Mark Weinstock, Dave Saslove, Josh Engel, and Cassandra Henry (the winner of the early-bird Meatless Music 4 Mondays song contest)!

Vigour Projects is a new not-for-profit, MaRS (www.marsdd.com) registered, social
innovation initiative. Its first call to action was Meatless Music 4 Mondays; a “heart healthy” song contest for local independent musicians. The contest winner will perform live at VigourFest. All net proceeds of the contest are donated to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

Vigour Projects is the brainchild of Toronto Cardiologist and musician Dr. David Alter. Dr. Alter brings together a team of musicians, music therapists, health care providers, and likeminded medical researchers as a way of developing a music health program with an evaluation and research component that will generate funds for participating charities.

Vigour Projects



Vigour Projects’ mission is to improve health through music. We are driven by the belief that music can both directly, and indirectly, improve the health of individuals, communities, and populations, and are devoted to finding methods of achieving this most effectively and efficiently.

Vigour Projects plans, organizes, implements, and evaluates music-based projects that are targeted towards the improvement of health – the nature of each project is dependent upon the needs of each charity/foundation that we are partnering with.

Each project is designed to meet the needs or specific health issue of the partnering charity, however, it will generally consist of several main components: a music-based project or intervention, a song, a video, a research paper, a website, and an event. Vigour Projects will use these components to generate funds for the partnering charity, specifically for a cause that is in line with our mission to improve health through music.
