About the event
A cappella is singing unaccompanied by instruments.
What's special about City Lit a cappella is the attempt in the vocal arrangements to make the group sound like a band. We are not choral singers, nor folk singers. We are pop and jazz singers. The arrangements we perform are unique to this group. Our repertoire includes songs you will recognise and be able to bop along with!
Leader Della Rhodes has taught jazz and popular music studies for (she says) too many years to count. She is currently Coordinator for Jazz & Popular Music at the City Lit in London. In addition to arranging for voices, she plays piano and electric bass.
The other members of the group, of which one lives in Walton, have enjoyed singing together for many years. We love the intricate and delightful harmonies we sing and we hope you will enjoy them too!
Emmanuel Church is located near the centre of Walton and a short walk from many other Festival events.
