Famm in the Leipzig a cappella competition
The all-female vocal ensemble Famm is the only Swiss group to have been invited to the 8th International A Cappella Competition in Leipzig. It will be competing against groups from six countries.
According to the competition, the jurors have selected eleven ensembles from numerous applications to sing for the Leipzig A cappella Award, the amarcord special prize and an audience prize on May 15 and 16 and to take part in the a cappella workshop with Matthias Becker. The winning group will also be invited to perform a concert at the Festival for Vocal Music a cappella in 2015.
The members of Famm met in the Swiss Youth Choir, first came together as a quartet in autumn 2006 and have existed in their current formation since summer 2010. What was originally intended as a one-off project met with such a positive response that the ensemble decided to continue on its chosen path, the ensemble writes in its self-characterization.
