centre-stage with your group performing at the IACF. If you have vocal music to share and would like to present a concert as part of the Festival, we want to hear from you!
To respond to the invitation, kindly submit your group's concert proposal to contact@a-cappella.org.sg before End-May, and we will get in touch with you soon after.
We wish you all the best and we look forward to hearing from you. |

The Real Group brought a party to the
SOTA concert hall when they arrive for their concert with their smooth
vocals and brilliant arrangements. The group received a standing ovation
at the end of the concert from all present, including the Ambassador of
the Embassy of Sweden, Mr Ingemar Dolfe and his wife.
Local
Filipino group VocaBlends received very rousing support and ovations by
the audience during their concert; while Coffee on Sunday proved that
coffee is indeed timeless with their jazz and pop tunes. The audience
members were especially touched when Coffee on Sunday performed a
special arrangement of tenor Joel's song dedicated to his wife. Indeed
it was was a festival with many wonderful moments.
Random Nugget of Info
Do you know that the sound equipment used for the fest requires a
full 10ft lorry to transport? Since the venue requires us to tear down
the system and lights after every block of show, we have to bring the
equipment in and out throughout the whole festival. That's how serious
we are in making this festival sound and look good for you!
So now, we're heading into yet another busy
moment with 3 top teams from different continents! First, we'll be
welcoming Sweden's Choir of the Year, Vocado with their jazz and
pop of folk and contemporary songs. Then we have the vocal shenanigans Suade and
their Australian charm returning for the second year, followed by last
year's International Category winners, rebranded as Moment Singers from
Taiwan!
If
you have to travel this month, let our three fabulous teams paint
various landscapes and tickle your aural senses instead at the
International A Cappella Festival! Tickets are still available for all
shows via www.a-cappella.org.sg.
Get your tickets today!
In
case you are not able to make it for their concert, fret not! Suade
and Moment Singers will be performing at an A CAPPELLA SHOWCASE at
PSB Academy (Delta Building) on 21st October, 7.30PM! SO PSB STUDENTS,
look out for these nuggets of a cappella goodness right in your campus!
More details, please visit THIS page!
So
till then, watch out for our next blast as we give you more insights
into the festival!! |
