Who We Are:

The Loreleis is the premiere all-female a cappella group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We’re named after the mythical siren that enchanted sailors with her voice and lured them to their deaths.

The Loreleis is a nonprofit organization that was established in 1981 and consists of sixteen dedicated undergraduate women. We perform for both campus and community events. We release a new album every other year and tour nationally and internationally twice a year. Our repertoire includes a wide variety of styles, such as contemporary pop, R&B, country, alternative, oldies and holiday classics.

We are proud to announce that our newest album, A Kick & A Wallop, released in the spring of 2012, was recently nominated for six Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards! The album features songs by the Maroon 5, The Beach Boys, Sara Bareilles, Panic! At The Disco and many more! Our previous release, “Philophony, ” won two CARAs in 2011. Check out the album page under the “Music” to order your own copies today!

Throughout Loreleis history, we have won many local and national acclaims in our 30 years!
