Our Vision & Mission

Our Vision
A world where all at life’s thresholds may be honored with compassion shared through song.

Our Mission
Singing for those at the thresholds of life.

As of 2023, there were more than 175 chapters of the Threshold Choir. Please see our list of Chapters by Region and our interactive MAP to see our current chapter locations.

Each Threshold Choir chapter is firmly rooted in its local community while also being an important part of our shared community as an international organization. We sing from the same repertoire and share our experiences at regional and international gatherings. Choir members know they are welcome at rehearsals and gatherings outside their area and often make plans to visit when traveling. We also stay in touch by email, newsletter, video meetings, and through this website. Most important, of course, we share a culture of compassion and respect for individuals at the threshold.

Threshold singing is not a substitute for the services of music therapists or music thanatologists, who are licensed professionals. It does, however, operate comfortably in tandem with those therapies. Singers receive specialized training around death and grief, bringing calm to the bedside, and producing a lullaby-like, harmonized blend of sound.

Threshold Choir is a 501(c)3 organization.
