We’re McGill’s finest a cappella ensemble! Formed 10 years ago in 1999, Effusion started off a small and humble group of musical geniouses who laid a foundation of soul haunting repertoire and mind-numbing good looks for future generations to build upon. 10 years, 3 CDs, and countless roadtrips later, Effusion is still laughing, good-time-ing, and making sweet a cappella.
Effusion performs at events, soirees, dinners, festivals, and student functions in and around Montreal, QC. We also take time our from our busy schedules to travel around Canada and the US to collaborate and perform with other a cappella groups. The group has competed in many competitions such as the International Competitions of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCAs)and the Montreal Chinese Community and Cultural Center’s Making the Band ‘09, in which we placed 2nd in the ‘09 Northeast division and first overall, respectively.
Music without instruments is our passion and we draw our influences from across the musical spectrum. R&B, soul, gospel, pop, folk, rock, and jazz influences can all be heard in our repertoire. Besides singing, Effusion has been known for many a memorable skit at end of semester concerts and questionable, yet well-rehearsed, dance moves at competitions.

“Unless you are McGill University’s Effusion, and your blend so absolutely unbelievable that you don’t need to dance around to superficially surprise an audience. Indeed, their sound was so magnificent that I’m pretty sure I stopped breathing for awhile;”
- Doug Friedman [Brandeis VoiceMale]“When Effusion started singing, I had trouble holding my camera straight because I just wanted to watch and enjoy. Not to say I didn’t feel like that during the dances, but something about this group caught me off guard… You know when a person goes into a zone, they get lost in their own little world? This was like watching a group of people get lost in their own little ‘group world’.”
