Performing with an ensemble of 10 singers and no conductor, Chicago a cappella is recognized as one of the area’s most accomplished vocal ensembles. Under the direction of artistic director John William Trotter, the group spans a repertoire from Gregorian chant to the Beatles and beyond and is known for its performances of sacred works, vocal jazz and pop, folk and international music, as well as a special focus on music written in the present generation. Since its founding in 1993, the ensemble has introduced dozens of works to Chicago audiences for the first time, including commissioned works by Chen Yi, Stacy Garrop, and Tania León.
Chicago a cappella has toured to 13 U.S. states and Mexico and has appeared on national radio broadcasts, including American Public Media’s "Performance Today." Its discography includes recordings on the Cedille, Centaur and Gothic labels, including highly-acclaimed CDs of Renaissance and contemporary works.
Chicago a cappella presents a series of concert programs each year in Chicago, Evanston, Naperville, and Oak Park, IL. The group's educational outreach activities include a Youth Choral Festival and "¡Cantare! Chicago," a Mexican composer-in-residence program in collaboration with VocalEssence. less
