Swan Songs is excited to announce the annual Swan Songs Serenade—the organization's centerpiece outreach and fundraising gala—will take place at Four Seasons Hotel Austin on Sunday, October 17, 2021, from 6:00-10:00 p.m. Stay tuned for the announcement of artists and more details. Swan Songs continued to fulfill musical last wishes virtually throughout the pandemic, providing comfort at the end of life and keeping Austin musicians working during an unprecedented event.
Swan Songs works with individuals who are terminally ill or nearing the end of life to bring comfort, joy and a respite from illness through music by organizing personalized concerts during this emotional and difficult time. The organization's core program is the fulfillment of musical last wishes. Swan Songs fulfills recipients' requests for a certain style of music or a specific musician to perform for them and their loved ones in a very intimate concert setting. The concerts are 30-40 minutes in length, are typically unplugged and provide an opportunity for a gathering with a focus on the music instead of the illness. These experiences are offered at no charge to the patient or family. Swan Songs recognizes that the talent and expertise of the participating musicians are an invaluable part of their success and, therefore, musicians are offered an honorarium for their time. In this way, Swan Songs fulfills its secondary mission—to support the health of the Austin area music community. With the vast diversity of requests from recipients, Swan Songs is fortunate to have access to the talented, professional, and experienced musicians of the Live Music Capital of the World
to fulfill even the most specialized musical last wish.
