FOR END-OF-LIFE PROFESSIONALS
Everything you need to request a concert.
Hospice and palliative teams, social workers, chaplains, spiritual advisors, death doulas, and care facility staff refer most of the concerts we fulfill. Nearing the end of life doesn't always mean the final days. The earlier a request is submitted, the more fully the recipient can participate in their favorite style of music.

IN A HOSPICE WORKER’S WORDS
“In a field where we strive every day to provide dignity, comfort, and humanity, Swan Songs enhances our mission in ways that words can scarcely capture. They remind us that even in life’s final days, there is still room for beauty, connection, and joy.”
Any individual who is terminally ill or nearing the end of life. No age limit, no diagnosis requirement, no financial qualification, and no hospice enrollment required.
WHO QUALIFIES
Where We Perform
Homes, hospitals, and skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and residential care homes. We go wherever the recipient is.
What We Handle
Musician matching and booking, scheduling with the family or facility, a trained concert liaison on-site, and all musician honorariums. There is no cost to the recipient, the family, or you.
What We Need From You
The concert recipient’s basic information and music preference, a family member or friend’s contact details, and an idea of best timing for scheduling the concert.
How Many You Can Request
One concert per individual at any time. Based on allocation availability, recipients may be eligible to have a second concert 12 months after their first concert date.
WHEN AN IN-PERSON CONCERT ISN’T POSSIBLE
There is still a way.
Where health or safety concerns prevent a live concert — isolation precautions, infection control, or immunocompromise — we can create a custom pre-recorded or virtual concert that the family can also keep and share afterward. Just select one of these options when completing the concert request form and a concert planner will coordinate with you to make it happen.
REQUESTING A CONCERT
Three steps in the process.
1. The Request
Anyone can request a concert — a family member, a friend, a care professional, or even the recipient. Most people ask for a style of music, and we offer almost every possible option.
2. The Match
Swan Songs matches each request with professional musicians whose artistry best fits. When time is short, concerts can come together within hours.
3. The Concert
30–40 minutes, usually unplugged, held in the recipient’s home or care facility. Family, caregivers, and other guests are often present to share in the experience.
