CASA - The Contemporary A Capella Society

This is Kwok-tung Fung, CASA ambassador from Hong Kong.  Just would like to let you know that Macau, a city which is about an hour away from Hong Kong, has also started a cappella. There are already two collegiate teams, and the Macau University has even organized in MAR 2009 a small gala in which Klangbezirk (from Germany) and 3 collegiate teams from Hong Kong sang together.  My group Gay Singers (amateur mixed group) has performed there a few weeks ago.

A Cappella Records is excited to announce the launch of its summer internship program. This program is a great way for motivated individuals to get involved in the a cappella music business in a number of capacities: copywriting, web design, licensing, research etc. For more information about the program visit: http://www.acappellarecords.com/news/

 This blog entry will be a short one, with a message directed specifically at college grads: Many of you love a cappella, and you're about to enter the "real" world in perhaps the worst economic climate since the 1930s.  This might have you concerned about employment, ready to take the first full-time job offer that comes your way. But you have a dream: singing a cappella professionally. Seems highly unlikely. Should you try? Absolutely!
