a cappella – International Festival for Vocal Music

Dear a cappella fans,

With sounds, art and singers from Mexico to the Philippines, the 2024 a cappella Festival enveloped the city in extraordinary harmony. Around 7,000 visitors experienced the musical offerings of hosts amarcord at eleven concerts and several other events, including the impressive International a cappella Contest for aspiring groups.

From 30 May to 7 June 2025, a cappella will be celebrating its silver jubilee! The 25th Festival (including the 15th Contest) will feature a few highlights from the past, but will also introduce, as always, entirely unknown ensembles – once again bringing the diversity of the a cappella scene and the world together in Leipzig.

You can still explore the extensive photo galleries and reviews of the 2024 a cappella concerts on these pages by clicking on the ensembles’ pages. Don’t miss the opportunity to relive some concert recordings by our media partners in their libraries, or, for instance, the 2024 a cappella Showcase on our YouTube channel — all information and links are available in our ‘News’ section.

Tickets for a cappella 25 will go on sale in December. Until then, keep up to date and in the a cappella spirit via our social media channels!

Best wishes,

amarcord and the a cappella team
