About Cappella Nova

From gathering once a month to sing madrigals for pleasure, Cappella Nova evolved into a chamber choir, performing regularly in venues throughout Bath, Somerset and North Wiltshire as well as singing as visiting choir in cathedrals in south-west England and beyond.

Many of us have been singing since childhood and some of us have been singing together since the 1990s. Cappella Nova was launched in 2001, a milestone in our shared history, when the group first performed under its current name. The name was chosen to show our interest in a Cappella (unaccompanied) singing and the word Nova marked our new identity with a reflective reference to the river Avon.
