Ladies choir gets festive for their annual concert

Bella Acappella has already built up a formidable reputation since it was formed over 12 years ago, but it sees its appearance at St John’s each year as a major highlight, portraying all the hard work that has gone into rehearsals across the year.

Amy Evans, Musical Director who leads the ladies choir with passion and expertise said: “We have magical memories of our concert last year, the acoustics were stunning and really enhanced our singing of beautiful Christmas music’.

Bella Acappella consists of 35 women, in their 20s-70s. They meet in the picturesque town of Ludlow every Thursday and travel from as far as Pershore, Hereford and Church Stretton, to be part of the choir. Not every member can read music, but the homework each member puts in really pays off when they perform songs from their repertoire such as Jar of Hearts, O Holy Night, Rocking around the Christmas tree, May It Be, and many others from a variety of genres.  

Bella Acappella are not a choir that compete, but they do bring joy to audiences in and around Ludlow, at Churches, Care Homes, and in the town’s very own Buttercross. They attract audiences of all ages from far and wide. 

Each concert that the choir puts on raises funds for local charities such as Tenbury Fire Fighters, Shropshire Domestic Abuse Service, Hands Together Ludlow and Megan Baker House. This year they are supporting Ludlow Cancer Support Group.
