SPOTTED: Music therapy student Christian Maliy makes music with special roommates

The Telegraph's article zooms in on this intergenerational living and mentions that the government is allocating extra money to capitalize on this particular way of living. It also appears to be a win-win situation in practice. "I have lived here for 3.5 years now," says the conservatory student in the article: "We often sing together. Very cozy and it fits well with my education." According to the article, resident Ineke Wagtmeester looks forward to the music sessions several times a week: "I always sing along with the song Op de woelige baren. Christian plays that so beautifully."
