A Cappella Cantabile Classics (AC) is a co-ed “A Cappella” group based in Tokyo and Kobe, Japan. The Director Shinobu Segawa, is a member of a professional Vocal group Baby Boo. He founded us in Tokyo in summer 2009 and in Kobe, Hyogo in 2010.

We perform orchestral classical pieces as well as Japanese traditional songs in our original arrangements of “A Cappella” style(i.e. only in human voices). We pride ourselves on creating such a new music genre, maintaining high standards of musicality, and keeping the fun and love alive!
