The Boston A Cappella Festival is a free, public, outdoor arts event that celebrates the human voice and its ability to produce high-quality and genuine musical experiences. Each festival's goal is to showcase a breadth and diversity of singing groups and styles, with community ensembles from high schoolers to seniors, from Springfield MA to Providence RI to Boston Metro West. With an anticipated audience of over 500, this event will introduce individuals to the joys of singing and singing culture, as well as open doors to numerous ensembles looking for an opportunity to showcase their skills to an engaged live audience. Genres include barbershop, madrigals, modern, jazz, oldies, and more.
The success of the Boston A Cappella Festival relies on the generosity of our audiences and their communities. You'll have plenty of opportunities at the event to donate to the festival, buy refreshments, and purchase souvenirs, but why wait? Donate now with Venmo or credit card and include your email, and we'll make sure you get a receipt. All profits received through donations will be directed to the ensembles and their artists.

and Save the World!
Every year, 5000 students who sing a cappella in school graduate ... and never sing in an ensemble again.
There is an urgent, ongoing, and expanding need for inclusive voice ensembles available to singers of all ages. Our festival celebrates the diversity and generosity of vocal groups who are absolutely part of the solution. Running an ensemble is hard but deeply valuable work, and every singer brings positive change to the world through harmony.
You also can be a part of the solution. The success of the Boston A Cappella Festival relies on the generosity of our audiences and their communities. You'll have plenty of opportunities at the event to donate to the festival, buy refreshments, and purchase souvenirs, but why wait? Donate now with Venmo, credit card, etc. and include your email, and we'll make sure you get a receipt.
