Chicago, IL —Chicago a cappella warms up April in Chicago with music about birds, bees, and “the birds and the bees” at its upcoming concert, The Birds and The Bees. The acclaimed vocal ensemble welcomes spring with charming Renaissance madrigals about birds by Weelkes, Monteverdi and Janequin; Daniel Pinkham’s clever Bugs; works by Paul Hindemith and Felix Mendelssohn; and passionate standards like Fever and The Nearness of You. Chicago a cappella’s celebrated musical range and irresistible charisma will make for a wonderfully enjoyable way to welcome spring to the city.
