About Us

The Michigan A Cappella Council was created during the Fall of 2002 by Arts at Michigan, to provide members of the a cappella community the opportunity to discuss various issues including: MACfest, joint concerts, various collaborations, marketing ideas, and new project ideas. Currently, there are twelve student a cappella groups participating in the council.

Goals: The purpose of the Michigan A cappella Council is to serve the a cappella music community on the University of Michigan campus and provide a collective voice for campus a cappella groups. This organization is dedicated to utilizing its resources to foster learning experiences, services, provide a forum for discussion, and a sense of a greater a cappella community especially by the production of collaborative events, including A cappella Rush and the Michigan A cappella Festival.

Meetings: The a cappella council meets at the Arts at Michigan office every other Tuesday evening to unify and promote the U of M a cappella community. Representatives of each of the groups and the executive staff meet to discuss current collaborations and future ideas.

MACFest : Michigan A Cappella Council coordinates the largest a cappella performance on campus, MACFest. It is a magnificent concert showcasing all/most of the a cappella groups on campus. This year, the 5th annual MACFest concert will be held at the Rackham Auditorium on the night of November 1th, 2008 8pm. Tickets can be bought at MUTO this coming fall.
