A Cappella from Australia & New Zealand


The Australian a cappella scene is rich, vibrant and growing by leaps and bounds every year. Whether its personalities like Tony Backhouse carrying on the gospel tradition and Idea of North breaking new ground with their innovative, original jazz stylings, or Blindman's Holiday exploring genres and musical culture from around the world - or New Zealand's Manic Opera taking a jab at something with their barbed but musical wit - there's something here for everyone!
