Blue Angels Choir came into existence on January 1st 2014. Initially it was called as 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 we 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. 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 & Bass) which makes this group a Unique and One of its kind. BAC has sung for more than 150 choirs and has given various TV and Radio Programs. They have done 19 musical experiments till date and it’s the first group to come up with Konkani Medley Unplugged. They have released 6 covers on YouTube. They also conduct TAIZE for the youths of various parishes and recently hosted an online Christmas Carols Competition ‘Carol of the bells’.
