FRAGILE

FRAGILE is a Slovak vocal group composed of distinctive singing personalities who interpret famous world hits without the use of musical instruments, i.e. a cappella. FRAGILE's concerts are full of not only excellent music, but also captivating humor, thanks to which you will experience an unforgettable evening full of great entertainment.

The specific and dominant feature of FRAGILE is precisely the musical genre that the group interprets. The term 'a cappella' refers to vocal music - that is, singing without the accompaniment of musical instruments. Simply put, where singers in regular music groups are helped by musical instruments when singing, singers in a cappella formations have to make do with only their voices. Since there is nothing to hide, everything must be pure and perfect when singing a cappella. The group FRAGILE masters the challenges of this demanding genre masterfully, as evidenced by several awards, such as 3x OTO (Television Screen Personality) awards in the category of the most popular music group, or the Crystal Wing for the CD Voices with Richard Müller.

The word " fragile " means "fragile" and as the name of a vocal group it captures the very essence of the a cappella genre - it is fragile. When a group of singers make music together without the accompaniment of musical instruments, no imperfection can be hidden. Every rhythmic or intonation inaccuracy is visible as a flaw in beauty, just like a scratch on clear glass. Even a small inattention by one of the singers is enough for the musical pyramid of voices to fall apart in an instant. However, the FRAGILE group interprets the a cappella genre with ease and perspective, and the energy they transmit to you from the stage is difficult to describe. You have to experience it for yourself.

"A cappella"

The term " a cappella " comes from the Talian language and literally means "as in a chapel." Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when playing musical instruments in chapels was prohibited; only singing was allowed. Therefore, the singing of an individual or a group of singers without the accompaniment of musical instruments is still described today as "as in a chapel," that is, "a cappella." And a cappella groups have to make do with their voices alone, even where other groups are assisted by musical instruments.
