Threshold Singers of Washington DC
Our group was profiled on a segment of PBS’s Religion and Ethics Newsweekly.
The mission of Threshold Singers of Washington DC is to bring kindness and comfort through singing, creating moments of grace for individuals at life’s thresholds through a cappella singing. We offer our songs at the bedsides of those at the threshold of life and death in hospice and non-hospice facilities and private homes. We honor all spiritual paths and have no religious affiliation. Our singing is offered as a gift from our hearts — there is never a charge.
We sing at memorial and remembrance services throughout the metro DC area. We also have events (“song baths”) open to anyone seeking comfort, peace or simply a soothing listening experience. Through our gentle songs, we hope to create moments of grace and community for ourselves and all who join us.
We are at full capacity and are unable to accept new members.
We do not require auditions. However, each member is asked to:
- Be able to carry a tune
- Be able to hold their own part (or sincerely want to learn to) while others sing harmony
- Strive to sing softly and blend their voice with others
- Strive to communicate kindness with their voice
- Be willing to use self-monitoring and accept peer feedback as we work together to create the sweetest, most blended, and graceful sound
Our practices are held near the Tenleytown-AU metro stop on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month.
We would be honored to see you at one of our song baths or to visit someone in your life in the Washington DC area who might benefit from our singing. Contact us by email for more information.
