AkaBella
Opening Night Gala

Saturday, September 12, 2009

As the name suggests, this group sings in the style of a cappella, meaning without instrumental accompaniment. AkaBella is made up of five strong voices: Nola Pierce, Verena Reece, Lorenza Simmons, Lauren Smith and Melody Walker. These five met in HSU’s music department and formed the group after finding common ground in their love of folk music of all cultures.

Many of the songs AkaBella performs are spiritual in nature but the group doesn’t try to limit the way the music is expressed or interpreted. They have traveled the world to increase their versatility and knowledge of other cultures.

New…Fresh…Unique!
