Welcome to Albacappella Chorus
Ladies A Cappella singing for Aberdeen, Deeside, Donside and Aberdeenshire
Albacappella Chorus are the original Aberdeen A Cappella Ladies Chorus and we rehearse once a week to learn our songs; our singing skills; develop our confidence and have fun performing together. Part of a UK based network LABBS - some of the finest vocal performers in the country.
Albacappella are always ready to welcome dedicated singers who want to share in this wonderful healthy 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 - soloists are great but you don't need to be one! You could be part of Albacappella.
Visitors welcome to attend Albacappella rehearsals - contact us to let us know you are coming just in case we are performing that night.

Love2sing
Albacappella Love2sing a cappella melodies and harmonies - which simply put means we don't use musical instruments to provide any backing, its music made with the qualities of the human voice. Our combined voices make the chord sounds you'd expect from instruments; the chords we sing sound perfect on their own! Albacappella Chorus 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.
Some of these images were taken during our live contest performances. We've performed in England, Wales and Ireland as well as our native Scotland. It's great to share our music with appreciative audiences.
News

Winning Ways Continue
In 2018 much to our surprise and joy Albacappella won the Barbershop Class of the Aberdeen Music Festival. 2019 was no less a contest as men's and ladies Barbershop Choruses of Aberdeen came together to entertain and share our music. The contest was that tight that the adjudicator couldn't separate the choruses. As Albacappella had welcomed in 15 new members in 2019 we are doubly delighted to have our biggest turn out for this wonderful festival.
