The Ursa Minors
Founded in 1981, the Ursa Minors are a treble-voice a cappella group at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. We perform original arrangements of music from a variety of genres including pop, jazz, rock, folk, and R&B. The Ursas known for our fun-loving nature, passion for music, and for spreading Singing Valentine’s cheer around campus on February 14th.
Our group performs at numerous events throughout the year, including Brown University events, private gigs, community shows, and on campus arch-sings and concerts. We perform frequently with other a cappella groups at Brown and beyond, as well as travel to other colleges and universities for concerts.
While the group's membership and repertoire continue to grow and change, one thing remains the same: the Ursas are not only a group of musicians and voices, but a group of friends.
"I randomly went to the Triple Threat concert and knew it was the group for me."
"Every member does their own things on and off campus, but come together in support of each others’ diverse pursuits."
