Biography

Albert Hera, pseudonym of Alberto Quarello (Collegno, August 29, 1967), began studying as a saxophonist and later discovered in the voice his true “instrument.”
During his career he met Bobby McFerrin, with whom he collaborated on his improvised opera “Bobble” and on the album VOCAbuLarieS, called by critics one of the greatest masterpieces of choral music of the 21st century.
Among other prominent personalities, he collaborates in various projects both in scientific research with Prof. Franco Fussi and artistically with Roger Treece, Paolo Fresu, Gegè Telesforo, Swingle Singers, London Vocal Project and Steven Mercurio just to name a few.
His quest as a “storyteller of sounds,” lead him to define a true “neo-language” that encompasses the ability to lead the listener to imagine faraway places, scents, dances and people, weaving, through improvisation, unique and sometimes epic plots and tales. He has always been side by side with the teaching profession, pursuing, for many years, a philosophy related to singing, both individually and in a circle.
In 2006 he built the CircleLand teaching project, a new way of conceiving choral singing in a circle (circlesinging). During his many travels, he succeeded in making circlesing known in Italy and abroad.
