Sjaella is an a capella group of six young women from Leipzig whose beautifully blended voices and engaging manner hold audiences spellbound around the globe.
Sjaella has a multi-faceted repertoire thanks to its vocal combination, which is underrepresented in the musical world.
Uniform yet individual, gentle yet robust, precise yet free-flowing – this versality is what Sjaella’s ethereal and otherworldly sound is all about.
Sjaella has been a fixture on the universal vocal music scene for years, performing concerts at renowned festivals, and winning first prize at many competitions.
The ensemble has recently been on concert tours to South Africa, Belgium, Spain, and Norway.
Sjaella has a multi-faceted repertoire thanks to its vocal combination, which is underrepresented in the musical world.
To brighten the scene with their rich tone, and to expand the range of works available for women’s choirs, the singers have been working closely with composers for many years.
They combine new works with old music, and devote their attention to folk songs from different cultures, while also harbouring a penchant for jazz.
Some of their forays into a musical focus have been honoured by the music world.
The album “Preisung” (2013, querstand) was nominated for the German Record Critics’ Award, and “Meridiane – NORD” (2018, Raumklang) won the American CARA Award for Best Folk/World Album.
