Season Finale Concert: A Cappella Soundscapes

A Cappella Soundscapes
Friday, May 3 & Saturday, May 4, 2024 | 8 pm

Unaccompanied music has been around for as long as people have gathered to sing. From medieval monks singing chants to the complex harmonies of Eric Whitacre, composers again and again find new ways to create beauty with human voices.

And only voices. Sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. No keyboard, no orchestra.

Singing a cappella is choral music in its purest form. Every aspect of the music—melody, harmony, rhythm, texture—comes to life through the interplay of our voices alone. It is a kind of incarnation, of breath becoming sound.

Over the centuries, hundreds of thousands of a cappella choral works have been written. For this concert, we’ll sing a few of our favorites.
