FOR MUSICIANS
Musicians are the heart of our mission.
Every Swan Songs concert begins with a request — their music, their moment. Opera or mariachi, bluegrass or R&B, you are the one who brings it to life. We were founded by a working musician, and paying musicians for their artistry has been core to our mission from the very first start.

IN A MUSICIAN’S WORDS
“I know the focus is on the recipients and guests, but I receive so much from these performances as well. It’s incredibly rewarding, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share our music — made possible by the fair compensation provided.”
How It Works
Concert requests come to us from families and end-of-life professionals for recipients of all ages. Most requests are for a specific genre or style of music, and we match each one to a musician who best fits. You are compensated for every performance, with concerts allocated based on style requested and musician availability.
What It’s Like
Concerts are 30–40 minutes, usually unplugged, and held in private homes or care facilities with family and caregivers often present. The experience is as personal as the individual. Sometimes the room fills with joy and singing, while at other times it's quiet and tender. Musicians tell us these are among the most meaningful concerts they play.
