It´s great to have barbershop friends all over the world. Michael Olm and Martina Ullrich were in the Algarve on holiday. They stayed with Deborah Stallings Flynn and in return they coached Bella Acapella and also our quartets French Connection and the 4 Degrees (picture). We gladly welcome all friendly barbershop coaches to the Algarve to relax, sing, eat and enjoy harmony time under the sun! Who´s next...?

Love the process. Not the outcome 🎶

What better way to start the new season than with our very ´own´ vocal coach Francisco Brazao. He let us feel and discover not only the outside but also the inside of our voice. Chest voice, Mixed voice and Head voice are more than just theory or a daft YouTube instruction. Singing live and feeling the change is the best way. The result? A clean and clear tone, less friction and more vocal control. A Saturday well spent!

⚠️ THE THINGS NOBODY WARNS YOU ABOUT WHEN JOINING BELLA ACAPELLA CHORUS…
🎤 Excessive singing — often at completely inappropriate moments
😎 A great boost of self confidence, knowing your voice counts
😂 Uncontrollable laughter
📅 A ridiculously busy social calendar
👕 An unexpected collection of matching glitter outfits
🎶 Hearing harmonies everywhere you go
❤️ New friendships that quickly become like family
🙌 A suspicious increase in happiness
💪 The body of an athlete, the lungs of a deep see diver
🚗 Spending far too much time travelling to rehearsals, performances and competitions
🎄Sipping Mulled w**e and actually enjoying the Christmas Carols
🤷‍♀️ Frequently explaining to people, “Yes… it really is a whole weekend of singing!”
And the biggest side effect of all…
❤️ You wonder why you didn’t discover it sooner!

Why not join us for our open rehearsal. Learn a song, see how we work and feel the comradery. Welcome September 9th at 19.30 h in the Republica 14 in Olhão. Check our website at www.bellaacapella.pt

Bella Acapella is an international, mixed a capella chorus in the Algarve. Serious singing, great fun.

Choir may be one of the last places where we still practice being truly together. So much of modern life can happen individually, asynchronously, and on our own terms.
Thank you for your inspirational words!

Ensemble singing asks something completely different. You have to listen while you contribute, adjust without disappearing, breathe with others, and tune into something outside yourself.
You cannot simply perfect an individual part and call it an ensemble. The sound only works when everyone is continually responding to everyone else. That is more than a musical skill.

In a culture increasingly built around individual experience, choir still gives us a place to practice attention, cooperation, vulnerability, and real human connection. Maybe what we are losing isn’t just togetherness, but places that teach us how to do it.

Living in the Algarve sounds like a year round holiday. And for some of our members that is actually the case. But for others the summer months are the high season with houses to rent out, guests to take care of and school reports to finalize. Anyhow, a summer break is welcome for everybody. Time to enjoy the beautiful beaches and to relax some some more. Not for long of course, because in September the singing season will start again. We have a lot to work on, with the competition in Spain just around the corner. But first we ended our season in style with an outside drink of Portonico, the fresh combination of white port, tonic water and mint. A nossa!

There is always something special about a concert in our homebase, Republica 14 in Olhão. And last Saturday was indeed very special. It was a magical evening outside with many old and new songs, new choreography and a harmonious atmosphere. In addition, it was a concert full of first times. The first concert with amplification, the first concert with two quartets (thanks French Connection and Four Degrees), four newbies having their very first concert with Bella Acapella and a full presentation in both English and Portuguese (thanks Carla, Dinorah and Sónia).
