Giving a cappella singers a voice

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
We bring a cappella to you
The UK A Cappella Society was founded in 2020 to spread the joy of modern a cappella singing across the UK. Our aim is to provide a community hub for modern a cappella across the UK where anyone, experienced or not, can find resources, tips, support, and ways to get involved with the art of a cappella.
HOW WE HELP
Our Mission
To advance, improve, develop, and encourage public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of A Cappella music in all its aspects by any means the trustees see fit, including; through the presentation of public concerts and recitals; through acting as a resource centre for those interested in A Cappella; developing outreach projects to increase diversity and open the music to a wider audience.
We aim to do this through our CORE Strands:
Community
Outreach
Resources
Equality & Diversity
COMMUNITY
The a cappella community in the UK has historically been fragmented, with groups only meeting in high-pressure situations. We aim to create a friendly and welcoming community hub where singers can meet each other, make friends, work on projects and celebrate each other's success! And we'd love for you to be a part of it.
OUTREACH
Our aim is to bring a cappella education to everyone! We will work closely with educational organisations to provide young people, particularly those from disadvantaged communities, with opportunities and resources that can help them to gain skills and experience in a cappella singing.
RESOURCES
We provide both our members and the general public with the knowledge and tools to learn more about the art of a cappella and to progress in their singing journey. We provide guides, advice, support, arrangements, and learning opportunities like workshops and classes from some of the biggest talents in the UK A Cappella scene.
EQUALITY & DIVERSITY
A cappella in the UK is varied, but is most often found in Universities, where only the privileged get to take part. This has lead to an imbalance of singers from different backgrounds and musical influences from different cultures. We aim to make a cappella singing available to everyone through inclusivity and diversity initiatives that open up the community to all.
