Swan Songs Writing Session
The “Swan Songs Writing Sessions” program in Austin pairs a loved one who is terminally ill or nearing the end of life with professional songwriter and artist, Darden Smith. Together, they collaborate to capture the individual’s story and uniqueness in song. Family or friends can also be involved, rendering the songwriting experience as both a celebration and tribute, one preserved in lyrics and melody that can be sung and shared with others for years to come.

Gift of Song
While concerts are the signature and primary program, Swan Songs is working to deepen its impact, to offer more unique, meaningful musical experiences to individuals and families coping with illness and death.
Through Gift of Song, families and friends can commission a song for a loved one nearing end of life, customized to reflect their personal story and unique contribution to the world. Those who are left behind will have something more than a memory; listening to a song inspired by the colorful details of someone’s life can keep them close to the heart for generations to come.
Gift of Song is a partnership with Texas songwriter and Founder of Portrait Songs, George Ensle, and generously funded by a grant from the Lind Family Charitable Foundation.
