An evening to remember | 16/05/2023

Igreja da Misericórdia in Tavira

A beautiful environment for this truly special event in Tavira.
We were invited to perform together with THE CONCORDIA CHOIR from California, USA . The church was filled with
beautiful voices and the audience appreciated this extraordinary performance. The guests from the States were visiting Spain and
Portugal, showing their talent in 4 concerts along their journey through both countries. Young students with a deep musical education
together with an enthusiastic conductor / musical director presented a classical repertoire in a truly captivating way.
Known for a fresh and infectious program, Bella Acapella performed a set of 6 songs inbetween the 2 sets of the Concordia Choir.

First concert in 2023 – Música nas Igrejas in Tavira | 08/04/2023

A church filled with a focused and smiling audience, a chorus turning its back as one lonely voice sang in this surprising opener. So it began, and it was powerful.

Proceeding with joy and energy, songs about resilience, friendship and love filled this beautiful space: “The Climb, Happy together, Isn’t She lovely and The Rhythm of love” led the way into this one hour performance.

With a little gesture from the MD, the chorus descended the stairs, surrounded him, getting closer to the audience. From here “The Water Is Wide” resonated deeply, immediately followed by the emotional “Hallelujah”. After the moody “Lullaby” the vibes changed with an amazing quartet performance of “Bring Him Home” from the French Opera, LES MISÉRABLES.

The concert finale was filled with lightness and fantasy around classical Barbershop songs including “San Francisco Bay Blues, Seven Bridges Road, Love Me and Count On Me”. To the applause of the audience, Dolly Parton’s “Nine to Five” ended the show with euphoria!

And finally for the encore, former and new members were invited to sing along to “San Francisco Bay Blues”, once again showing us that sharing music brings joy, good vibrations and even goose bumps. The energy jumped to another level, when a young boy from the audience was invited to conduct this final song.

It was amazing, it was warmful, it was Saturday May 28, when we performed an outdoor sing out in front of a « moving » and applauding audience !
Under Rob Does direction, we are doing our best to improve and master our repertoire to which we added two new songs : Dolly Parton’s « Nine to five » and Stevie Wonder’s « Isn’t she lovely ».
This Saturday we performed them for the first time and we loved it ! The audience too, hopefully (- ;
