Three talented college a cappella groups are coming to the Wayland High School Theater to perform at the Fall College A Cappella Concert on Saturday, December 3, at 7:30 pm!  They will be joined by WHS’ own T-Tones, Muses and Madrigals for a night of great entertainment lead by MCs Addison Kay and Lauren Horowitz.

Each year, the College A Cappella concerts are a musical highlight of Wayland life. A cappella music features fresh arrangements of both classic and contemporary songs performed by unaccompanied singers, though vocalists sometimes emulate instruments. Having experienced a huge surge in popularity in recent years, a cappella attracts the most talented singers on college campuses nationwide!

Featured college groups are the all-male Northeastern UniSons, the all-female Simmons Sirens, and the co-ed Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones. The Veritones will also lead a special master class for the Wayland a cappella groups before the concert.

The Northeastern UniSons, founded in 2008, are Northeastern University’s only all-male a cappella group. The UniSons performed in the semi-final round of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in both 2014 and 2016 and received awards for Outstanding Arrangement and Vocal Percussion. The Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones, founded in 1985, are one of Harvard’s premier contemporary, co-ed a cappella group. They are known for their originality, poise and electrifying stage presence. The Simmons Sirens, founded in 1989, are the one and only student-run a cappella group at Simmons College. They have competed in national a cappella competitions and regularly perform at Simmons as well as in the Boston area.

What better way to mark the holiday season than to come to this electrifying event! Priced at $18, tickets are available at Donelan’s, Russell’s Garden Center, and online at the WHS CAPA website, www.whsarts.org.
