A Harpist at the Threshold: Hospice Stories of Love & Grace
Written and performed by Jayne Demakos
Through story and harp, Jayne Demakos shares deeply personal stories from her work at the bedside of the dying. Her performance explores how vulnerability, music, and presence can help guide the final passage with peace and dignity.
