Join two music-thanatologists for an evening exploring the powerful tradition of music at the bedside of the dying. From medieval monastic rituals in Cluny to today’s clinical practice with harp and voice, discover how music serves as a compassionate presence—guiding the soul and comforting the body—in life’s final moments. Through history, personal stories, and live demonstration, this event reveals music as a final act of care. This lecture will speak to anyone fascinated by the intersection of death, art, and the body, offering a glimpse into an ancient monastic tradition where music is not performance, but presence; not entertainment, but a final act of care.
