SingStrong A Capella Festival Returns to Adelphi's PAC Feb 2-4
Garden City, NY (01/30/2024) — Audience favorite SingStrong A Capella Festival returns with over 30 different a cappella groups from around the world. From Grammy winners to Hall of Famers to American Idol soloists to beatbox, looping and barbershop world champions, SingStrong features the very best a cappella in the world in a stunning variety of styles.
SingStrong boasts five different a cappella concerts, all at Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC), Friday, February 2 through Sunday, February 4. Attendees will thrill to a high school competition, a college competition, three completely different Pro Shows and over two dozen classes.
And for those who wish they had a vocal harmony group of their own to perform with, SingStrong even offers The Single Singers, an open a cappella group that you can join, and that conveniently only meets at the festival on Friday night and Saturday morning, and then "rocks out" on the MainStage, Saturday at 2PM.
Audiences may have trouble believing it, but every group at every show features nothing but the human voice. The Pitch Perfect films provide just a glimpse into the real-life a cappella at SingStrong.
Friday, February 2 at 7 p.m.
Adelphi's SingStrong weekend starts with the ACA-IDOL Competition where College and Pro groups compete for a $1,000 first prize while judges comment live and the audience votes by cell phone. Plus, a special performance by Broadway Records recording artists, Blue Jupiter, featuring Lifetime TV's "Pitch Slapped" star, Diana Preisler.
Saturday, February 3 (multiple performances)
The 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday features high school groups from around the country competing in 8-minute sets. While judges deliberate, catch the Single Singers, the open a cappella group that any attendee can join.
At 7 p.m., Pro Show I features 5-time Grammy winners, The Swingles, Doo-Wop Hall of Fame inductees, Classic Sounds, The Beatbox Dance Alliance with performers fresh from Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, and Bizkit, the recently awarded best live looper in the world.
At 9:30 p.m. Pro Show II features a completely different professional line-up with pop viral sensations, The Trills, live looper Kid Beyond from the Imogen Heap tour, Alaska's all-female Pipeline Vocal Project feat. leads from American Idol, and Midtown, the #1 ranked barbershop group in the world.
Sunday, February 4 at 2 p.m.
All new, fast paced performances from The Trills, Kid Beyond, Pipeline Vocal Project, The Beatbox Dance Alliance, Midtown, and Bizkit make Sunday's family-friendly farewell concert, nothing short of electric.
A cappella classes and coachings run throughout the day on both Saturday, February 3 and Sunday, February 4.
