Rob Does

Rob is the musical director of Bella Acapella

Rob started his extensive musical training at a young age singing in the childrens choir of the Dutch Broadcasting union. In his teenage years he played the piano and later the viola. Playing the viola he joined the European Youth Orchestra. From his twenties he started conducting and singing in varous (youth) chorusses. Before moving to Portugal, he has sung in an a capella sextet for over 10 years. 

Music and teaching are Rob´s passion, especially when it comes to vocal music. Rob has joined Bella Acapella as an MD since 2017. Under his direction the chorus has grown in both quality and size. He is a driving force behind a further professionalization of the chorus and the chorus structure. He also initiated  our participation in the BiBA Competition 2024 where we took home the Gold Medal for winning the Iberian contest!

Rob is currently running a boutique B&B in the Algarve region, together with his partner Peter. He loves to travel, to write and enjoys fitness and running. We are happy to have Rob as an energizing and always optimistic Musical Director.
