Though acquainted by reputation, Jens Johansen and other members of the AAVF board first met Jonathan Minkoff in 2009 when Vocal Line participated in the SingStrongDC a cappella festival, where Vocal Line placed first in the ACA-Idol Vocal Competition.
Minkoff, an expert in a cappella music, holds a bachelors in Music Education from Northwestern University, a juris doctorate from Boston University School of Law and has lectured at over 20 vocal festivals throughout the United States and Europe, including The Real Group Festival in Sweden. He also performs internationally with Blue Jupiter, an award-winning professional a cappella quartet.
"Festivals like AAVF are so exciting! Exchanging ideas in such a supportive environment just supercharges everyone's creativity. To learn from our European friends and to share American approaches is an absolute thrill, and I'm very honored to be a part of the AAVF family," Minkoff said.
