Winning Ways

Albacappella are really honoured and proud to have won the Barbershop Chorus Class of the Aberdeen Music Festival 2018. Stiff competition from our neighbouring choruses made it a thoroughly enjoyable evening for the audience.

New Challenges For 2018 -

Why not Take Up a New Healthy Hobby and start singing with Albacappella - Something new to do.

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 watch us practice our performances 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 or theatre training - you do need dedication and commitment, a choir is the product of everyone in it.

We rehearse once a week to learn our singing skills, develop our confidence and have fun performing together.

Happy Birthday to Albacappella

We celebrated in style with tea and cake at the "Milton of Crathes" - Royal Deeside.

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.

Recent Events

We had various Christmas shows and events that we shared our singing at Around Aberdeen and the Shire.

Saturday 2nd December saw our Christmas Show, with guests including Granite City Chorus, Highland Harmony and the Ukeladies, as well as local singers and dancers. A great evening was had by all in a traditional cabaret style. Thanks to everyone who supported us.

Albacappella enjoyed a fantastic convention with our visit to the Irish Association (IABS) Convention in Cork 6th-8th October. It was a fabulous weekend of Music and Fun. We even managed a couple of songs with the Granite City Chorus whilst we were there!

Albacappella's 2017 autumn retreat was with the world renown Theresa Weatherbee. We had a a fabulous weekend, worked hard and had a lot of fun making our music more memorable and entertaining.

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.

One Day One Choir
