FUNDRAISER

Celebrate a decade of Chicago a cappella’s Cantaré program at this special benefit event ahead of our concert at the National Museum of Mexican Art. Enjoy dinner from Taqueria Los Comales and a conversation on identity and composition with composers Elisa Schmelkes and Agustina Crespo, and Artistic Director John William Trotter. The evening also includes guided tours of the museum’s acclaimed collection, plus a silent auction and raffle—all supporting Chicago a cappella’s artistic and educational programs.

SILENT AUCTION & RAFFLE
Treat yourself — and those you love — while supporting Chicago a cappella! Explore our one-of-a-kind Cantaré-inspired auction, featuring packages for celebrating special occasions (inspired by “Las Mañanitas”), romance (inspired by “Y Es Que No Sabes”), nature (inspired by “Week Week”), and more.
The auction includes generous donations from our singers, board members, and friends — including Broadway in Chicago, Chicago Botanic Garden, The Morton Arboretum, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Goldbelly, and Lettuce Entertain You — plus the rare opportunity to dine with Founder and Artistic Director Emeritus Jonathan Miller and current Artistic Director John Trotter.
