From Behind Closed Doors - Chicago a cappella
Program created and music direction by John William Trotter

So much of our lives happens behind closed doors, especially the creation of music. How much of the world’s music do you think has actually been seen or heard? Let our ten singers inspire you with beautifully moving pieces that were previously held back unjustly due to personal reasons,  societal norms, or inequity.  We’ll also open the doors for new and unknown works to step into the spotlight. Join Chicago a cappella for this transcendent musical experience.

Works by: Howells, Price, Byrd, Aleotti, Bonds, Cesis, Garrop, and winners of the HerVoice Emerging Women Composers Competition
