Greetings from Vienna J Home of the vocal festival TOTAL Vokal. We’ve been so busy with the A CappellaFest and preparations for m-pact’s Nov 26th Concert and The Real Group’s Jan 9th concert that it has been impossible to send this out sooner.
We had a fabulous time with the 10 local groups who performed at this year’s A CappellaFest to resounding feedback from our audience. Thanks to our Director, Mr. Vincent Pang and Lighting Designer, Ms. Rabita Jamal and the groups, our stage and front of house crew, and of course our supporters, we made it a success! Kudos everyone!
This is the month where we call for groups to send in their portfolios for Christmas performances and for singers to get to auditions for year-end shows as well as prepare special arrangements for the Hari Raya and Chinese New Year celebrations ahead of time, so do take note!
We’ll be back with the October installment by the 25th of October!
Happy reading and thank you to everyone who supported our events in the last few months! We can’t ever do it without you!
For The A Cappella Society
