Countesthorpe Academy Sing! A Capella

Countesthorpe Academy Students formed part of Leics Sing's Choral Spectacular this week.

On Wednesday 17th March, students from Countesthorpe Academy formed part of a ‘Choral Spectacular’ by joining Leics Sing! to celebrate all things A Capella, alongside hundreds of other young voices from local Leicester and Leicestershire Primary, Secondary and SEND schools.

Under the expert guidance of Simon Lubkowski, renowned gold medal barbershop singer, the event showcased incredible talent and enthusiasm, focusing on different styles of A Capella, including modern, unaccompanied Choral, Barbershop and improvised/aural inspired pieces.

Students demonstrated immense commitment and dedication in the run up to the day through a combination of school and massed rehearsals, resulting in an amazing event which saw students singing their hearts out and creating beautiful harmonies.

The energy and passion displayed by everyone made the event truly ‘spectacular’ and gave real insight into the variety of music that can be created with voices only!
