Why 'Caedmon'?

Cædmon was a humble cowherd who loved music and stories but feared performing. Whenever he was asked to sing, he panicked and ran. One night, he fled to the cattle shed, fell asleep, and dreamed of a stranger who asked him for a song. Cædmon protested—he couldn’t sing!

 

But when the stranger urged him to sing about the world, something incredible happened. Music poured out of him—so beautiful it moved him to tears.

When he awoke, the song remained with him. He sang for himself, then for others. Word spread. He was no longer just a cowherd - he became a storyteller, giving voice to others - A Voice to the Voiceless.

At The Caedmon Company, we believe in the power of transformation through storytelling and art in all forms.

We help others find their voices, build confidence, and create something powerful—just like Cædmon did all those years ago!

 

Caedmon's harp features in our logo as an important reminder that even the most humble and unexpected of us can inspire others in sharing their stories through the arts, with the right encouragement.
