About Wrablers

Mixed Voice a capella Ensemble

Our Story

The Wrablers are a mixed-voice a cappella ensemble with a big sound, a long history, and a strong sense of fun. Many of us have been singing together for over twenty years in various groups, and we’ve been making music as the Wrablers since 2011.

Our name comes from a legendary typo—Warblers became Wrablers thanks to a mis-taken minute—and it stuck. It suits us. We’re not precious, we’re not cutesy, and we’re definitely not afraid of a bit of joyful chaos. Think rich harmonies, musical curiosity, and a group that knows how to laugh as well as listen.

For our first six years we were proudly leaderless; these days we’re even better, with a dedicated Musical Director helping us stretch, refine, and take things up a notch. The direction is clear, the standard is rising, and the atmosphere remains welcoming and collaborative.

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings, very close to the Barbican. In addition, each term, we have two all-day Sunday rehearsals. We sing two planned gigs a year, plus other ad hoc events.

We work seriously but sociably on a wide range of a cappella music. If you’re an experienced singer who enjoys singing without scores glued to your face, values ensemble singing, and wants to be part of a committed but friendly group, you’ll feel right at home.

We welcome newcomers to join us. There are publicised rehearsal-based “taster” evenings, but if at any time you are interested then contact us and we can take it from there.

We’re currently keen to welcome another soprano and possibly a tenor—but above all, we’re looking for people who love singing and want to be part of something special.

“Small” choir singing is so very different to singing in a “big” choir.  This could be the start of your next singing adventure!
