Repertoire

Below is the list of all the songs Acapellago has performed in the past. Some of these songs are sung once or twice, whereas some of them turned into classics over time, like “Beyond The Sea,” which we begin every performance with. You might hear us sing a song from the list one day, or come across a completely new and exciting arrangement!

For the sake of convenience, we are abbreviating Chris Catalan ’18 as CC ’18.
