2017 The Pitch Perfect Time To Take Up Singing with Albacappella

Ever thought about singing or harmonising? Joining a choir has never been more popular, and if you're inspired by "Pitch Battle" or "Naked Choir" on TV then maybe its for you. It's a great way to stay healthy, meet new people and share in a hobby that brings people all over the world of all cultures, together. Come and listen to us on a Wednesday evening. We're always on the look out for dedicated singers who want to share in this wonderful hobby. You don't need to be able to read music, or have any formal musical training - you do need dedication and commitment, as a choir is the product of everyone in it. We rehearse once a week to learn our skills, develop our confidence and have fun together.

Albacappella - Love2Sing

We love to sing a cappella harmonies - which is basically un-accompanied singing. The chords we sing sound perfect even without any musical instruments! Albacappella are based in Deeside Aberdeenshire. We are members of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS) a nationwide organisation for women's Barbershop Choirs and we meet on a Wednesday night to practice at the St Peter's Heritage Hall Peterculter.

The images above are some taken at the LABBS (Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers) Convention in Bournemouth 2015, and Llandudno 2013.

2016 has seen us become:

RECENT EVENTS

Albacappella are proud to have taken part in the "Aberdeen Maggies" Culture Crawl charity event - June 23rd. We sang for more than two hours welcoming the walkers to the "Trinity Hall Aberdeen". - (if you've not visited the Trinity Hall then check out their website - a wonderful place to sing and find out about Aberdeen's heritage). We shared some of our favourite music and hopefully lifted the spirits of those fund raisers walking to raise money for the fantastic Maggies centres. To see some more of the photos from that evening click here.

In what proved to be a very busy week, we also sang in celebration of Make Music Day - a national event for singers and musicians in the UK.
