Warwick’s first a cappella group ‘ The Leamingtones’, was the first step into the a cappella scene. Since it’s founding, we’ve hosted some of the best a cappella groups from around the country such as Northern Lights, Axiom, Algorhythm, Elision, Aquapella, The Decibelles, The Rollingtones and Techtonics to name just a few.
It was named society event of the year in Warwick SU’s end of year awards in 2020. Since 2020, Warwick has hosted the Open A Cappella Competition (OAC) which provides groups from all across the country an opportunity to perform in a competition environment outside of the International Competition for Collegiate A Cappella (ICCAs). We’ve even invited many well-known musicians in to work with us such as select members from the likes of the Sons of Pitches and the King Singers, as well as other people well-known to the a cappella community. We also hold group specific workshops to develop and improve various a cappella skills such as arranging, dynamics, blending, beatboxing, tuning and many more aspects. Each session has a different theme and focusses on a different aspect of a cappella singing. Separately, we hold a bi-weekly session called ‘WACA chorus’ which is open to absolutely everyone and members of other groups are encouraged to come along to meet each other and sing in a relaxed environment. We hold auditions for all our groups at the beginning of the academic year primarily but we do re-open auditions at the beginning of term 2 for additional members! We hope to pave a way forward, leaving a legendary mark and a legacy for the University of Warwick.

The society simply gives the opportunity for rehearsed groups to perform through a unified, recognised, established and professional society. WACA holds events, competitions, contact performance venues, and reach out to other universities – amplifying the voices of these groups. We aim to be a platform for new a cappella groups, provide motivation for them to compete, and be an access point to the outside world. No one should ever have to suppress their need to sing and make music, and this society aims for members to express their musical abilities freely! It is a platform for all a cappella lovers at the university to come together and appreciate a cappella music. It is an umbrella for all a cappella groups within the university to centralise our shared passion for music as well as to develop our knowledge and skills relating to the art. Warwick A Cappella Society is a society for performing, arranging and appreciating unaccompanied vocal music.
