Our STORY: Heartbreak to Hope
Music In Hospices stemmed from a deeply personal moment between our founder, Joseph Cavalli-Price, and his mother in December 2019 who was admitted for end-of-life care in Ty Olwen Hospice, Swansea.
On a solitary walk through Hospice corridors, Joe discovered an old, honky tonk piano covered in blankets and books.
Wheeling the piano to his mother’s bedside, he opened the lid, sat and began to play: the tune of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ providing a transformative moment of tranquility and connection.

Our IMPACT
How we HELP
01. Creative Arts Provision
We don’t just do music. We provide a full provision of Creative Art services to our Hospices: allowing patients, family and staff to experience the arts in a way that is as joyful and dynamic as they are.
02. Instrument Donation
Our trailblazing instrument donation scheme, in collaboration with Orchestras for All, takes used, refurbished orchestral instruments and donates them to children and young adults of Palliative Care patients; supporting their musical journey without financial burden and allowing them to make music in memory of their loved one.
03. Advocacy
Through features on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Breakfast and national partnerships we normalise the conversation around death, demystify hospices, improve pallaitive cares service and instroduce new, young voices into the space.
Palliative Care is a cause for all generations.
