OUR STORY

Choral Music and Community Building

AcapellArt Singers was founded in May 2013. Each of the 6 singers grew up as a student of the Kodály Zoltán Primary School and as singer of the choirs of the Cantemus Choir Family. So they have years of experience in choral singing, although none of them are exclusively artists in their profession. One of the hallmarks of the band's performance is that, like the traditions of the English King's Singers, they build exclusively on male voices. The similarity in the tone of the men in these harmonies gives a uniquely clear sound when performing choral works.

April 2016, the Ensemble performed with an independent concert on the stage of the Óbuda Society (‘The Faces of A capella’, 16/04/2016, Otto Till Hall). In February 2019, the Ensemble, with the background support of the Association and the cooperation of Philharmonic Hungary Nonprofit Ltd., Móricz Zsigmond Thater Nonprofit Ltd. and Bencs Villa, held a series of concerts (consists of 25 concerts) (February-March 2019). The Ensemble finished 2nd in the vocal group category at the 15th Jacobus Gallus International Choir Competition in Maribor.
