In recent years, the a cappella Showcase has become an essential part of the festival and competition – and with good reason. This is where all the young groups competing in the a cappella Contest come together once more to share the stage in a joint concert. Of course, we also want to give this opportunity to the young ensembles, taking part in the newly formed a cappella Academy.

It’s a chance for them to reconnect and celebrate one another, to put fresh ideas from the Workshops and Masterclasses straight into practice, and to give us a vivid sense of the breadth, energy and potential of today’s a cappella scene.
