SENZA A Cappella is an a cappella group from Hong Kong Baptist University established in September 2009. The name ‘senza’ is an Italian word meaning ‘without’, which coincides with its unique a cappella singing style where songs are performed without musical instruments.
The ensemble comprises students from various disciplines in school. Active both on and off campus, it aims to promote a cappella culture to the Hong Kong society, through performing a rich repertoire from classical pieces to songs from Broadway, jazz and Canton-pop.
SENZA A Cappella made its debut appearance in November 2009 in the 3rd anniversary concert staged by The Contemporary A Cappella society of Hong Kong. It continues to perform in other public events, including the 5 evening Season Of Love concerts in 1881 Heritage, Tsim Sha Shui, and as the guest performers in The Chinese University of Hong Kong – Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Community College’s singing contest, as well as in ICAC I-Generation Farewell Party.
In March 2010, SENZA A Cappella attended the masterclass coached by Angelina Choo, the founder of Singapore's A Cappella Society, in the University of Macau. The next day it costarred with other a cappella groups in a joint-places concert in the University of Macau, starring FindaVox from Shanghai, Oops from Taiwan and UM Singers from Macau.
SENZA A Cappella 是香港浸會大學於二○○九年成立的無伴奏合唱組合。「Senza」一字本為意大利文，解作「沒有」，跟組合「沒有伴奏」的風格相符。
以浸會大學為基地的SENZA A Cappella，所有成員都是來自浸會大學的不同學系。組合在學園內外皆十分活躍，他們旨在以不同類型的樂曲（包括來自古典樂，音樂劇，流行曲，爵士樂等）向社會推廣無伴奏合唱。
組合於2009年11月首次亮相，在第三屆香港當代無伴奏合唱協會音樂會演出，並獲得好評。他們之後參與多項公演，包括五場在尖沙咀1881 Heritage舉行的Season of Love音樂會，也為香港中文大學 - 東華三院社區書院的歌唱比賽、香港花奔展2010和ICAC I-世代的歡送晚會等作客席表演。
組合於2010年3月在澳門大學參加了由新加坡無伴奏合唱組織創辦人朱淑玲小姐(Angelina Choo)指導的大師班，並於翌日的跨地域音樂會中，與來自上海的FindaVox、台灣的Oops和澳門的UM Singers在澳門大學同台演出。 組合亦有幸於同年9月得到星加坡著名無伴奏合唱組合Key Elements成員Vaughan Tan先生的指導，在他的大師班中演唱，並被喻為 “a group of talented young singers!”
組合於同年5月份，獲邀前往海南島演出，同台藝人有謝安琪、張雨綺和張靜初等，SENZA更有幸能在途中與謝安琪合唱《囍帖街》的無伴奏合唱版本。
組合更於2010年9月12日舉行了他們的首場周年音樂會，並廣獲好評。
SENZA A Cappella 將不斷提升其演出水平，希望在來年和以後的日子為大家帶來更多好聽的音樂。
