Group Pic!
Kent Ridge A Cappella, or more fondly known as KR Aca, was formed by a group of talented, individualistic, music-loving residents of Kent Ridge Hall at the National University of Singapore, way back in 1995. We are a group of singers who perform without instrumentation – everything you hear in our songs is produced by the human voice.
We emerged as Judges’ choice winners in the ‘Outrageous Budak Pantai Soundalike Contest 2004’ and guest starred in a vocal workshop held by UK’s A cappella pop sensation – The Magnets! in 2005. Our teams have topped the group category at varsity-level competitions such as Talentquest ’06, as well as at Stardust 2005, 2006 and 2007. We recently came in 2nd in the 2007 Singapore Acappella Championships, upper-college category, and 2nd in the 2008 Championships Open category.
KR Aca is in demand during the Christmas season; our previous gigs include carolling at Swissotel Merchant Court , Sentosa Resort and Spa, CHIJMES, Kinokuniya (Singapore), Timberland stores, as well as Singapore Changi International Airport over the past 4 years. We have also sung at functions (such as private Christmas parties) and events (such as weddings and office parties). spreading the yuletide cheer with our special warm brew of melodious tunes.
In recent years we have taken our performances beyond the varsity and into the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, Singapore’s premier arts facility. Apart from singing at Singapore Art Cafe showcases, we also performed at the Esplanade Concourse in 2006 as part of the Gathering Of Talents (GOT!) series, and in 2009 as part of the Roots Reinterpreted series.
So sit back and let KR Aca astound, bedazzle, charm, delight and excite you with their passion till the end of time!
