Chicago a cappella

Founded in 1993 , Chicago a cappella is a group of 10 singers that performs without instruments and without a conductor.  Chicago a cappella presents an annual series of concerts in Naperville and other Chicago-area venues with an ensemble of the area’s finest professional singers. The group is heard frequently on radio, including many appearances on WFMT in Chicago, the national broadcast “Performance Today,” and the ensemble’s own syndicated special “A Chanukah Celebration with Chicago a cappella.” Chicago a cappella has recorded nine CDs, including releases on the Centaur, Cedille, and Gothic labels, and has commissioned new works from acclaimed composers including Chen Yi, Rollo Dilworth, Tania León, and Joseph Jennings. The ensemble has performed on tour in 13 American states and in Mexico and has made appearances at The Ravinia Festival, the Chicago Humanities Festival, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
