About our programs
Find A Cappella is a semi‑professional a cappella singing group, and the first project of CMCA.
We are a group of vocal singers, music lovers, and young professionals based in the Bay Area. We’ve presented annual concerts with diverse repertoire—from pop and musical theater to jazz, folk, and sacred music. We aim to deliver good vibes to our audience and the community.
Sudo Chorus (also referred to as Sudo Choir) is formed by passionate amateur and semi‑professional singers. The group rehearses weekly and performs multiple times a year across a wide range of repertoire.
Recent highlights include the 2025 New Year's Concert: Echoes of the World on January 18–19, 2025, celebrating global harmony and cultural expression through choral music.
Mandarin A Cappella Workshop is a welcoming, drop‑in program for anyone interested in singing Mandarin‑language a cappella, regardless of experience.
Sessions feature original arrangements by our members, cover a variety of styles, and focus on vocal technique, blend, and harmony—no instruments required.
