Who we are

Cadence Singers is a group of women who seek to bring solace and strength to life's toughest passages, particularly the pathway of dying.

Gently inclusive

Our songs are not religiously oriented and are therefore appropriate for anyone. We do not 'perform' but rather offer a companionship of compassion for life's most difficult days.

A calm presence

Our unaccompanied quiet songs are particularly suited to the bedside and the hospice ministry.

Freely Given

This loving service is offered freely to everyone within the Auckland area.

 

Embracing harmony and peace

Through gentle presence, words and melody, we invite the person and their whanau to experience and embrace harmony and peace.

A small group of three or four singers attends the person's bedside and sings unison and harmonised songs for approximately 15-20 minutes.

We are also available to sing at other similar occasions; a remembrance service or with those suffering grief or loss.

Cadence Singers is affiliated to the Threshold Choir network in the USA.

Join us

Singers meet fortnightly to prepare songs. We also hold Saturday morning workshops about 3-4 times each year to deepen our understanding of what we do and how we do it, building relationships with one another along the way.
