Sean Seman
Founder and Artistic Director, Young At Heart Project

Sean, a highly talented professional musician, founded the Young At Heart Project in 1985. He continues to serve as the organization’s Artistic Director and provides inspiration to the talented musicians who assist in the delivery of live musical performances. Sean is a graduate of Loyola University of Chicago, with a dual major in English and History. Before founding the Young At Heart Project, Sean toured extensively for over 11 years and shared the performance stage with many nationally recognized acts. In 1999 Sean was one of the first recipients of Santa Cruz County's Gayle Rich Award. This prestigious award honored Sean's artistic achievement and contributions to the community, and was directly related to his work with Young At Heart Project. The inspiration for the Young At Heart Project came to Sean while he was performing an impromptu concert at a rest home, where an elderly man who had not spoken for two years broke into song during the performance. Sean created the Young At Heart Project to enrich the lives of seniors. His vision has sustained the organization for 33 years, and continues to guide the Young At Heart Project into the future.
