About Blue Angels Choir
Blue Angels Choir came into existence on 1st January 2014. Initially, it was called PADUA BLUE ANGELS as most of the singers in the group were from Padua Institutions. The main intention to start this group was to sing in church for various occasions. Later on, as years passed by they started to give public performances, perform for music concerts of various Konkani Singers and perform as Micro Bands for the Receptions, Private Gigs & Corporate Events, also leading Taize worships. Rev Fr Michael Santhumayor is the mentor and Denzil Pereira is the co-ordinator of this group.
This group sings in 4 voices, (i.e, Soprano, Tenor, Alto and Bass) which makes this group unique and one of its kind. BAC has sung more than 150 choirs and given TV and radio Programs. They have done 20 musical experiments till date and it’s the first group to come up with a Konkani Medley. Till now they have released 5 covers on YouTube and recently hosted an Online Christmas Carols Singing competition ‘Carol of the Bells’.
