a cappella – International Festival for Vocal Music

Dear a cappella audience,

With sounds, arts, and characters from Mexico to the Philippines, the past a cappella festival immersed the city in extraordinary harmony. Around 7,000 visitors listened with curiosity and openness to the musical guests of the hosts amarcord in 11 concerts and several other events, including an impressive International a cappella Competition for emerging groups.

From 30 May to 7 June 2025, a cappella will be celebrating its anniversary! The 25th edition of the festival (including the 15th competition) will bring back some highlights from the past, but, as always, will also feature entirely new and unheard performances – once again showcasing the diversity of the a cappella scene and the world in Leipzig.

Currently, you can still view extensive photo galleries and reviews of the 2024 a cappella concerts on this site by clicking on the respective ensemble pages. Take the opportunity to enjoy some concert recordings from our media partners in their media libraries or, for example, the a cappella Showcase 2024 on our YouTube channel – all information and links can be found in our “News” section.

Ticket sales for the 25th a cappella edition will start in December. Until then, stay up to date and in the a cappella spirit by following us on our social media channels!

Warm regards,
Yours, amarcord and the a cappella team
