Acappellooza 2014 is an initiative of the Spirit of Emerson, a community-building celebration of Emerson College. For the first time, Emerson's four a cappella groupsa?"Acappellics Anonymous, Achoired Taste, Noteworthy, and Treble Makersa?"will unite on stage.

"It's an opportunity for the whole community, including Emerson College President Lee Pelton, members of the governing boards, senior administrators, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the College, to get together and toast Emerson for its continued success," said Tom Cooper, Visual and Media Arts professor and faculty advisor to Acappellooza 2014.

"We have many special performances in store to honor our school," said Ari Conte '15, co-producer of the show. "Acappellooza is a chance for Emersonians to come together, have fun, and celebrate our community. The show is also a fundraiser for student scholarships. We are spreading the Emerson spirit to an audience but also to future students, which makes it a particularly rewarding event."
