Ten southern collegiate a cappella groups will compete this weekend at UT for a chance to advance to the national stage.
The community is invited to attend the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella South Quarterfinal at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 7, in the Sandra G. Powell Recital Hall of the Natalie L. Haslam Music Center.
UT’s all-male group VOLume will be competing.
UT’s female group reVOLution will perform as a demonstration group. They will travel to Gainesville, Florida, later this month to compete in their own quarterfinal.
Collegiate contemporary a cappella ensembles are student-run and -directed singing groups that perform without instruments.
Tickets for students are $18 and $20 for general admission. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the event website.
