Threshold Choir

Threshold Choir Threshold Choir is a network of a cappella choirs whose mission is to sing for and with those at the thresholds of life. Our voices are our gift.

We are a volunteer organization offering the gift of singing at tender times. Our songs are simple messages of love, life, and heart. They call and connect to the human spirit in all of us. We sing, when invited, for people moving through the end of life and also for other passages. We visit bedsides in groups of 3 to 5 to offer comfort and compassion. There is no charge. We do gratefully accept donations for our ongoing expenses. Founded in 2000, more than 200 chapters now serve their local communities, nationwide and worldwide. We invite you to visit our website for more information about our work and where you can find our choirs. http://thresholdchoir.org/

We wish to make kindness audible through the gift of song. We are spiritual but have no religious affiliation. Through our gentle songs we hope to create moments of grace in a difficult time.

Another beautiful article and video from The Guardian. They did a masterful job of capturing what we do and why. It's also a lovely spotlight on the MoorHeart Threshold Singers of South Brent, UK.

Just as lullabies send babies to sleep, so songs can help those at the other end of life on their way. The leader of a Threshold Choir reveals what they do – and the personal tragedies that convinced her we need to get better at dealing with death

The Brisbane Threshold Singers spent a wonderful weekend with the Ballina Threshold Singers members to celebrate 25 years of kindness made audible internationally across the world through The Threshold Choir. We also connected with the Sydney Threshold choir via zoom. We sang, walked, swam, chatted, laughed, ate, hugged, smiled, slept, made new friends, got to know each other better, learned songs and shared heart felt kindness with each other. We sang to a friend who was experiencing her own threshold time in her life....this was special as singing for those experiencing tender thresholds in their lives is what we do with love and care.

Threshold Choir chapters around the world touch thousands of lives every year. For Pam Espinosa, Threshold Choir leader and chapter founder twice over, this mission is fundamental to her daily work.

“At times this work can be difficult, but it is such an honor and privilege,” Pam said. “We bring comfort and peace to people through music. We strive to make the journey a little lighter, and while we are giving with our voices and hearts, we receive such blessings in return.”

Pam’s commitment to giving back to her community via music is fundamental to who she is. She has taken Threshold Choir with her around the world, coaching chapters on Zoom from Ecuador and supporting fledgling chapters from Florida to Indiana and Massachusetts.

Recently, the Boca Raton chapter, one of the chapters founded by Pam and her daughter, Monica, had the opportunity to share their gifts during a bedside sing. Watch the video to see a snippet of the impact a bedside sing can make.

Threshold Choir is the passion of incredible leaders like Pam around the world. Will you join us in expanding this mission by making a gift to the Blanket the World with Song campaign? Please visit our website to donate today.
