MICAPPELLA WINS 1st PLACE AT THE INAUGURAL MOSCOW SPRING A CAPPELLA FESTIVAL 2017
(9th May, 2017 – Singapore, SG) – Representing Singapore and Asia, MICappella - the only Asian group to take part in the inaugural Moscow Spring A Cappella Festival - puts Singapore on the map in the music and a cappella scene yet again by emerging as champions in the medium group category (6-10 singers) at the inaugural Moscow Spring A Cappella Festival. The month-long competition culminated in a final week-long festival which saw more than 160 finalists battling it out all over Moscow's famous tourist sites with 3 performances a day over a 3-day period.
Juni Goh, MICappella's tenor says “Representing Singapore on the international stage of Moscow Spring A Cappella was such an honour. We went there with the goal to put on a good show, and to have won is such a surprise!” MICappella was the only Asian group to compete at the event.
This is the third time the band has taken part in an international competition since they first gain recognition after returning from The Sing-off China as 1st runners-up.

“All judges, both Russian and international, were very impressed with MICappella's performance. Their professional yet passionate delivery mixed with a very big heart makes them one of my favourite vocal pop ensembles.” says Andrea Figallo, one of the judges from Italy who first met the band in 2011 when they took part their first-ever international a cappella competition in Graz, Austria.
The band also had the honor of inviting Deputy Chief of Mission and First Secretary from the Singapore Embassy in Moscow, Mr Seah Seow Chen, to receive the award at the Gala Concert on their behalf as the band had to return to Singapore right after their performances in Moscow. The Gala Concert and award ceremony was held at Gorky Park on 8th May 2017.
Mr Seah said "MICappella did Singapore proud at the Moscow Spring A Cappella festival. They certainly captivated the hearts of the Moscovites with their passionate and dynamic singing.”
Fresh from receiving the “Best Asian A Cappella Album” in April at the 2017 Contemporary Acappella Recording Awards (CARA) in the United States, this is another milestone for the band and a further encouragement for the band who will be heading to Kuala Lumpur for their first-ever solo concert in June.
