Cantabile Trio began in 2012, when they entered and won the Senior Division of a local talent competition. Since then, they have continued to sing together, becoming a public favourite everywhere they sing. They are regulars at the local Village Night Markets, have sung as part of Access Manawatu’s "Sounds of Summer" Concert Series, have performed their own show “Hotel Cantabile” and have sung for numerous private audiences and at functions.
The girls were put together by local music teacher Dr. Debbie Donkin. They are all soloists in their own right - holding between them an ATCL vocal diploma, a two-time membership to the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir, and numerous vocal awards and scholarships, as well as having a New Zealand Singing School alumnus and a student of UCOL's Contemporary Music Diploma.
They were active for 3 years, before ceasing at the end of 2015, due to one of the girls moving away.
They sang a wide variety of music, from classical to jazz, Andrews Sisters, swing and pop.
