About
Concordia means harmony in Latin. Being in harmony is being in balance, at peace with the world. Through our sung harmonies, we offer comfort to those receiving palliative care or nearing death, so they and their loved ones may feel at peace. Concordia was formed in 2012 to share our voices in loving kindness.
Our songs are simply a gift, an act of service. We seek through our music to nurture, to provide a resting place for the soul during this sacred journey. Music can heal, open hearts, quiet fears and touch all who are present.
We practice one Tuesday evening per month in Plymouth, MA. Concordia Singers is open to men and women who feel called to the ministry of song for the critically ill and dying. The ability to read music, though helpful, is not as important as being able to carry a tune and hold your part while singing in harmony. All of our singing is a cappella. It requires a commitment to attending rehearsals monthly and rehearsing on your own. All of our members undergo hospice training. Our process also includes meeting with the director to develop a plan for learning the repertoire and determining when all member guidelines have been met.
We have been members of Threshold Choir since 2012. We are now an Affiliated Chapter of TCI . You can learn more about this international organization at thresholdchoir.org.
