Acappella music experienced a resurgence of interest in the early 2000s, due to the popularity of TV shows and films such as Glee and Pitch Perfect.

The preferred choice of music for many churches and Gregorian chants, a capella music is also the style for which the University of Cambridge’s Choir of Gonville and Caius College is known for.

One of the UK’s leading collegiate choirs, the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, recently presented Choral Serenade to Music, a charity concert in aid of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), at Sunway City.

Organised in collaboration with the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation (JCF), the concert attracted over 1,100 guests and featured the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

On top of their usual repertoire, the choir performed an arrangement of Malaysian folk songs that were handpicked and deftly accompanied on the piano by YAM Tunku Zain Al- ‘Abidin ibni Tuanku Muhriz, Trustee of the JCF.
