Cadenza is a mixed a cappella choir at Cambridge University in England. Originally founded in 1997 as a small jazz choir with a conductor and a band, in 2002 it was changed to a smaller close-harmony a cappella group to sing arrangements that include a wider repertoire ranging from pop to jazz classics. The group write their own arrangements of popular songs from the past and present and add innovative choreography to complete their performances [1]
In March 2011 Cadenza were crowned champions of The Voice Festival UK, a national university a cappella competition.[2] As a result of this victory they are travelling to New York to represent the UK at the ICCA International Championships of a cappella [3] in April 2011.
The group are regular performers at Cambridge college May Balls, in the past year singing at Jesus College May Ball, Emmanual College June Event, Selwyn Snow Ball and Churchill Spring Ball. In addition, Cadenza have sung at the Fitzwilliam Museum, book launches and the ADC Theatre.
