I attended an unusual event, part of a Death Festival put on by Pure Land Home Hospice, which supports end-of-life care guided by Buddhist teachings.

Held at a local cemetery, it was not your typical outing for a Sunday morning.

I met members of the Adelaide Threshold Singers, who volunteer to sing to people who are dying or in pain.

I recalled a serendipitous and enchanting experience once when I happened to hear a choir group rehearsing ethereal Italian madrigals in a sculpture museum that had the most amazing acoustics.
