Wow! Teaching at my first VIRTUAL A cappella Festival! I'm so excited to work with students and directors again after this crazy COVID year, and doubly excited to do so in a CASA festival after being so focused on SingStrong, AAVF and others. I've taught at most of the CASA festivals (SoJam and LAAF) in the past -always fun!- but BOSS is a first for me!

What's the class? Competition: Tips, Tricks and The Profound Meaning of Creating Art It's a focus on defining what winning means to a group, and then a rocket fast pivot to exploring tangible, practical ways to achieve that success.

As another thrill, my friends in POSTYR, the Danish super vocal group,  are headlining the festival with a pre-recorded concert made just for BOSS. I can't wait to cheer them on and I hope you a cappella lovers and aca-curious  will all consider joining in the fun at these bargain ticket prices! See you "there"!

Jonathan Minkoff to return as head judge for AAVF, Denmark's most prestigious vocal festival. 

DC enters its seventh year and Chicago enters its third year as the world famous a cappella festival continues! Each festival will feature Fri, Sat and Sun concerts. And profits continue to support the Alzheimer's Association and local music programs. While Blue Jupiter and the crew of familiars will return, no other artists have been announced just yet.
