About Us

Acappella Unlimited Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Topeka area.

Performance

The main purpose of AU is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at annual competitions.  We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a capella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.

CompetitionIn the spring of every year, we participate in the Midwest Plains Region 7 chorus competition in Overland Park, Kansas.  Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2011, International Competition will be held in Houston, Texas.

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Acappella Unlimited Chorus currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
