LIVE PROMO CONCERTS:

FRAGILE – A CAPPELLA GROUP FROM SLOVAKIA

FRAGILE brings together outstanding Slovak singers to perform some of the world’s best-loved songs using nothing but their voices. Combining impressive vocal arrangements with playful humour, the group offers audiences an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment. Their repertoire spans pop, rock and jazz, featuring songs by artists such as Queen, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé. Every melody, harmony and rhythm is created without instrumental accompaniment.

WHAT MAKES FRAGILE DISTICTIVE

Is the musical genre at the heart of its performances. The term “a cappella” refers to vocal music performed without instrumental accompaniment. Simply put, while singers in conventional bands are supported by musical instruments, a cappella singers must rely entirely on their voices. With nothing to hide behind, every note must be clear and precise. FRAGILE masters the challenges of this demanding genre, as demonstrated by numerous awards, including three OTO (TV Personality) Awards in the Most Popular Music Group category and a Crystal Wing Award for the album Hlasy, recorded with Richard Müller.

THE NAME FRAGILE:

Captures the very essence of a cappella: its delicate nature. When a group of singers performs together without instrumental accompaniment, no imperfection can be hidden.

Every rhythmic or pitch inaccuracy stands out like a scratch on clear glass. Even a brief lapse in concentration by a single singer can cause the entire musical pyramid of voices to collapse in an instant.

Yet FRAGILE performs a cappella with ease and assurance, radiating an energy from the stage that is almost impossible to describe. It simply has to be experienced firsthand.

THE ART OF A CAPPELLA:

Singing a cappella means performing without musical instruments. With only their voices to rely on, the singers must blend precision, timing and musical sensitivity to create a complete musical experience.

The name FRAGILE reflects the delicate nature of this art form. Without instruments, even the smallest imperfection in pitch or rhythm can be heard as clearly as a scratch can be seen on glass. Yet FRAGILE meets this challenge with skill, ease and a sense of fun. Their performances combine musical excellence with warmth, spontaneity and humour. The energy they share with audiences is difficult to describe — it simply has to be experienced live.
