A cappella music is sweeping the country, and colleges and universities are a big reason for that. There is an ever increasing number of a cappella groups on college campuses, and the number of Jewish collegiate a cappella groups (that we know of) is approaching 50! Add to that popular TV shows like The Sing-Off, and anyone who’s anyone now realizes how cool it is to be a singer without accompanying instruments.

There are competitions for a cappella groups out there, such as the Harmony Sweepstakes and ICCA, but there has been a void in the Jewish a cappella world – at least until 2011!  The Kol HaOlam National Collegiate Jewish A Cappella Competition, held this past April in Washington, D.C., saw Tizmoret crowned as the first official National Collegiate Jewish A Cappella champion.  Who will be crowned as the second champion in 2012?

Join us again this year for Kol HaOlam II.
