Swing!
An a cappella evening featuring music of Basie and Ellington
Gala 2014
Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring Chicago a cappella performing swinging tunes by Basie and Ellington, with special guest emcee Terri Hemmert of WXRT. Enjoy a light dinner buffet, desserts and wine in the antique-filled wonderland known as Salvage One and be inspired by our youth outreach ensemble. We'll also salute our Tribute Award honoree, Anima-Young Singers of Greater Chicago, with special recognition of the group’s director, Emily Ellsworth, and our Friend of the Year, Bill Flowers. The event's proceeds will support Chicago a cappella’s educational and artistic programming.
