Chicago a cappella will melt your heart with music and poetry celebrating the sense of abundance, gratitude, and generosity of spirit. This lavish display of a cappella riches includes sublime Renaissance music, stirring spirituals, and vocal jazz, plus the world premiere of a new work by artistic director Jonathan Miller, Malcolm Dalglish’s joyful “Pleasure,” and the return of Chen Yi’s “The West Lake,” a celebration of natural beauty.
