Altra Volta is a dynamic and innovative vocal ensemble based in Calgary, renowned for its unique blend of pop, dance, and vocal jazz. The group was initially formed as a holiday caroling ensemble by friends who had met while singing in their university’s vocal jazz ensemble. Over time, Altra Volta has evolved into a versatile a cappella collective, incorporating original arrangements, commissioned works, and a wide range of published pieces into their expansive repertoire.
