A safe, supportive and uplifting space for people living with grief to sing together.

Grief Choir offers breathing tools and vocal techniques for wellbeing, and gentle, simple songs to sing in harmony with others.

Perhaps you are grieving the loss, death or separation of a loved one. Or perhaps you are grieving a part of yourself. Grief Choir offers a supportive community for anyone navigating grief.

Singing with others not only releases endorphins and helps us feel calm, it can also promote feelings of acceptance and connection, nurturing a sense of safety and community.

Supported by Bristol Beacon, Grief Choir is led by professional singing leader Jannah Warlow, who has over 20 years experience leading community singing events, workshops and choirs. Having experienced the healing benefits of singing on her own bereavement journey, she is deeply committed to Grief Choir providing a space of solace and connection through the power of communal singing.

Everything is taught by ear, there is no sheet music and no previous singing experience is required!

Bursary places available for those from marginalised communities or facing barriers to access — no explanation needed.  Please see FAQ’s for more info.

In coming to terms with the passing of mum in February, it is very obvious to see how important music is to that recovery.  Thank you Jannah

Jennah is amazing both at leading the choir but also holding the space. I have so valued having a space where I don’t have to talk about my grief but there’s a knowing between us all and we come together with our voices so powerfully. I’ve finally been able to really allow myself to grieve. Thank you Jennah and all the other participants.

Grief Choir has been a truly special experience. Sharing time and space with people, creating beautiful songs and poignant moments that have been  a true tonic

It's hard to put into words how joyful and transformative singing with Jannah is.  I'm not normally comfortable or confident singing.  Jannah creates a respectful, safe and playful space for us to make and experience sound together.  Jannah lovingly guides our sounds to meld together in a way that unites our combined sound and creates a euphoric experience that doesn't expose or make anyone feel vulnerable in the process. For me, the vibrations created during the singing process somehow help me to feel and move through grief in the moment. There is a sense of comfort and community from singing together without needing to discuss grief.  It's simply a beautiful experience and I feel very lucky to be able to experience it.

Grief Choir is a safe, supportive and uplifting space for people living with grief to sing together.

Seasonal Grief Choir Gatherings are a warm and welcoming invitation for a growing community to come together, connect, and strengthen the bonds formed through shared song and experience.

Held in rhythm with the seasons, each gathering invites participants, both new and returning, to reflect, remember, and sing in a supportive and familiar environment. With gentle grounding exercises, soaring harmonies, and simple, inclusive rituals, we create space for grief to be held and shared.

These gatherings offer comfort, connection, and a chance to deepen trust and togetherness. As we return each season, we nurture a sense of belonging and deep presence through the power of singing together.
