About Palliative Music

We are not powerless. Even when we grapple with medical crises and serious illness, we can experience beauty, peace, and comfort.

 

Palliative music is patient-centered music. A palliative musician sits at the bedside, carefully attending to the patient as she plays, in order to create music that promotes relaxation and rest.
