A choral sensation
The International choral sensation, Sjaella, come to Portico (and to Ireland) for the first time. Uniform yet individual, gentle yet robust, precise yet free-flowing – this versality is what Sjaella’s sound is all about.
The six singers joined forces many moons ago and continue to discover new ways to diversify their sound, because they are open to new influences, love musical mixtures and have the courage to challenge barriers. They are comfortable with their wide-ranging repertoire which comprises various genres.
This very diversity coupled with the close relationship the group has with their audience has paved the way, for many years, for Sjaella’s participation in renowned music festivals both domestic and overseas resulting in many awards at international vocal music competitions.
