a cappella

A new community choir in Canberra established to celebrate the rich heritage of Spanish music - all welcome.

'Voces' is a mixed SATB a cappella choir specialising in all-Spanish repertoire; sung in Spanish. To be as inclusive as possible, proficiency in Spanish language is not a prerequisite as pronunciation and lyrics are workshopped during rehearsals for non-Spanish speakers.

The only prerequisite is to be able to sing in tune throughout your range, hence the audition.

Sing Your Heart Out (Thursday mornings, Rockdale Town Hall) began as a Seniors' Week project at Rockdale Council a few years ago. At the end of the project the singers refused to disband! The choir continues to meet and rehearse and is actively involved in the local community, performing at local events and in retirement villages. The choir is currently working on a project called The Story Quilt which combines storytelling and songs. Our musical director is Christina Mimmocchi.

This newly-formed women's singing group (as at 3/18) welcomes all women singers regardless of experience or training. Sing in uplifting two and three part harmony. Songs of life, loss and the universe ... Meets Monday mornings 11am-midday during school term at the Women's Library in Brown Street, Newtown.

Andsome Friends is a small ensemble performing and recording Miguel Heatwole's a cappella pieces. We'd like to enlarge the ensemble to make it easier to gig more frequently. Based in Sydney, the group’s members have previously been, or currently are, involved in other musical projects: Ecopella, Monsieur Camembert, Solidarity Choir, Bel A Cappella, Touchwood, Vox Humana, Cloud Ten, and the Wayfarers. We'd be particularly pleased to hear from basses or sopranos with a reasonable standard of musical literacy.

Good Vibrations is an a cappella community choir on the northern beaches singing an eclectic repertoire with an emphasis on fun! If you love to bop in the basement, croon in the car, shout in the shower, (maybe even keen in the kitchen?) and have a high tolerance for Dad jokes, then this is the choir for you!
