Programme Synopsis Explore the world of contemporary a cappella, listen to the crystal clear voices of Singapore's only all-female a cappella group, NANU. What are the different roles of each singer, how does a contemporary a cappella song come together? Listen to the reimagined melodies of folk and traditional and original songs recreated and reimagined for contemporary a cappella. (In different languages). This programme brings together 4 performance artistes. NANU was conceptualised over 22 years ago at the beginning of what we call, the exploratory years of Singapore's a cappella scene. Together with The A Cappella Society, NANU has sung in Indonesia, The Netherlands, Boston America and more recently in Hong Kong. The group has sung on stages all over Singapore from community programmes like Vocal Jams at the libraries to schools and the Esplanade stages.
