The Group

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.

With three studio albums, several music videos, and numerous accolades—including awards at the Kiwanis Music Festival and the Harmony Sweepstakes—Altra Volta has firmly established itself in the music scene. The ensemble’s commitment to excellence, creativity, and continuous musical growth ensures they continue to captivate and entertain audiences. Despite their busy lives and careers outside of music, the group remains bonded by their shared passion for a cappella, fostering strong friendships that are central to their enduring success.
