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.

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.
