Asheville Threshold Choir
About Us
Members of the Asheville Threshold Choir seek to bring comfort through song to those at the thresholds of life. We sing at bedsides in groups of two to four, offering soft, gentle songs in short sessions. Songs are selected from a variety of traditions, and many are written specifically for this purpose. We honor all spiritual paths and have no specific religious affiliation. We welcome requests for our singing from clients, family, and caregivers in Asheville, North Carolina, and surrounding areas. Contact us at [email protected].
Singing With Us
Our chapter formed in the spring of 2017, and we continue to grow, build repertoire, and refine our skills. We welcome inquiries from singers who feel called to join us in this special work.
We meet regularly for rehearsals, where we work on learning to sing quietly together, listening carefully and blending our voices, and following the cues of the bedside song leader. There is no audition, but we ask that prospective singers be able to carry a tune, hold a part in harmony, sing softly and blend with others, and communicate kindness with your voice. We seek singers who are willing to learn music between rehearsals, and who are open to self-monitoring and peer feedback as we work together. The ability to read music is not required, though it can be helpful.
