1st International A Cappella Festival Germany's latest A Cappella stars, vocal dente, winners of prestigious awards and competitions in Europe (Ward Swingle Awards) and the USA (Harmony Sweepstakes) are coming to Singapore for two exclusive nights of their worldwide hit-programme "Let's Misbehave". Join them for an intimate, acoustic performance at The Arts House. With a rich and varied repertoire covering more than 80 years, they entertain and delight their audience with songs and pieces from the Comedian Harmonists to rock 'n' roll and ABBA, from the big 80s hits to the latest pop, always presented in the gloriously elaborate sound of five professionally educated voices. Their vocal imitations of rhythm and instruments, their self-written arrangements and the humourous entertainment sections complete the presentation, enlivened by self-ironic spoken interludes and sweeping dance choreographies. And the five young singers don't even need a microphone for this.
