a cappella – International Festival for Vocal Music

Dear a cappella fans,

It’s that time of year again to fill the city with vocal music! The line-up for our 27th festival spans from the Scandinavian countries through Central and Western Europe to the Basque Country – complemented by an international treat from faraway Australia, with our long-standing festival friends The Idea of North making their way to Leipzig once again. We will also be welcoming back the Belgian group Graindelavoix, as well as – after more than 20 years – the local pioneers SLIXS (formerly Stouxingers) and MAYBEBOP! Making their festival debut, meanwhile, are Åkervinda, the Ensemble Polyharmonique and the Julen Achiary Trio. And you, our loyal audience, can once again look forward to an exciting a cappella medley ranging from early music and folk to pop and jazz – and everything in between. Do come along in droves!

Warm regards,

Your amarcords and the a cappella team
