It’s all about feeling! Gems from the 19th-century Romantic tradition, including pieces by Brahms, Schumann, Grieg, and the English Romantics, are paired with potent a cappella charts from the ‘50s and ‘60s, when street-corner singing and rock ‘n’ roll ruled the airwaves and the hearts of Americans everywhere.  Chicago a cappella's 15th Anniversary Commissioning Series continues with a rocking new "Roll, Jordan, Roll" by Rollo Dilworth.
