A Cappela Choir


The A Cappella Choir was founded in September 1st 1999 to perform non-operatic works of the standard Choir repertoire.

The real serious work of the choir started when Ms. Maya Gvinena was engaged as Choir Master in September 2000. Her intensive work with the Choir has led to a much higher artistic level.

The Choir was put under the Artistic Supervision of Maestro Ahmed Elsaedi to play an integral role to the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, performing Masterpieces of both sacred and symphonic music.

The result of this collaboration was obvious when the Choir performed Handel’s Oratorio 'The Messiah’ in December 2000.

Since then, the Choir participated with the Cairo Symphony Orchestra in the interpretation of great masterpieces:
A German Requiem, Mahler's Resurrection, Haydn's Creation etc..
