Save the International A cappella Week Hannover!

Imagine this: You're in a cosy hall, the lights dim down and then pure, human sound fills the room - just voices, no instruments. From beats to groove, polyphonic or with loop effects: The energy of vocal music sweeps you away at the International A Cappella Week, which is taking place in Hanover for the 23rd time in 2025. But this year, our beloved festival is facing a major challenge: the current cultural cutbacks are threatening its realisation! We, long-time fans of the festival, don't want to let that happen. Every year at the beginning of May, our favourite project brings a colourful mix of international vocal ensembles to the Hanover region and presents well-known greats as well as promising newcomers. In the Kuppelsaal or in an alternative club, in a church or in a festival hall in the countryside: the performances take place at various locations in Hanover and the region, so that everyone has the chance to be part of this unique experience.

Due to massive savings and cuts in cultural funding in Lower Saxony, one concert has already had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, the festival is still missing a good 15,000 euros so that it can be held safely and as planned.
The team that organises the festival works mainly on a voluntary basis. All donations collected go directly to the festival and all artists!

Help us to preserve cultural diversity. Because the International A Cappella Week Hanover, one of the two most important vocal music festivals in Germany, wants to give us all unforgettable musical moments. Support our project and become part of this powerful vocal rescue mission!
