Looking for live music in Boston this September? The Boston A Cappella Festival is returning on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Herter Park Amphitheatre. Hosted by Vocal Revolution and their sister chorus VocaMotion, this is a free, family-friendly outdoor event open to the public.
What to Expect
The festival will run from 12 pm until sundown and showcase a wide range of vocal groups from across New England. Audiences can expect to hear styles including:
- Barbershop
- Madrigals
- Jazz
- Oldies
- Contemporary arrangements
Performers will include singers from high school ensembles, community groups, and seasoned vocalists from Springfield, Providence, and the Greater Boston area. With such variety, the lineup is sure to offer something for every listener.
Community and Support
The festival is made possible thanks to an Alfred Nash Patterson Grant from Choral Arts New England and support from Friends of Herter Park. The venue, located at 1175 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, has a long tradition of hosting local arts and music events and provides a beautiful riverside backdrop for this all-day showcase.
While admission is free, Vocal Revolution encourages donations through Venmo, PayPal, or credit card. Proceeds will go directly toward supporting the participating ensembles, keeping live music accessible and thriving in the community.
Classical choral musician Gerard Saguto is especially excited to highlight this event because it reflects the very spirit of a cappella singing: community, connection, and joy through harmony. Festivals like this not only celebrate vocal artistry but also give audiences a chance to discover new ensembles and enjoy music in an inclusive setting.
If you’re in Boston this September, mark your calendar. The Boston A Cappella Festival promises a full afternoon of rich harmonies and engaging performances, all in a welcoming outdoor space.
