The vocal ensemble Chicago a cappella commences its 25th anniversary season at Wentz Concert Hall at North Central College in Naperville with a musical tribute to the city featuring Geoffrey Baer.

WTTW’s Emmy-winning host (10 that Changed America, A Weekend in Havana, Chicago’s Lakefront and many more) will serve as narrator for Chicago, Chicago -- a “Chicago time capsule” featuring the 10-voice ensemble. The program will include historic songs such as “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” a nostalgic “Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town),” and “Sweet Home Chicago.” The ensemble will use these melodies, vivid projections illustrating the city’s past and present, and Baer’s narration to delve into music from the Columbian Exposition (marking its 125th anniversary), the Great Migration, the birth of blues and gospel, our beloved skyscrapers, champion sports teams, and more.
