A Cappella with KARMA

The a cappella concert by the barbershop quartet KARMA embodies the core values of the Bayreuth Festival of Young Artists: stylistic diversity, artistic excellence among young musicians, and direct communication with the audience.

The program features arrangements from barbershop, jazz, pop, and folk music, combining energetic uptunes with sonically rich ballads. The close interweaving of the four voices and the characteristic, overtone-rich sound of close-harmony singing make the musical resonance immediately audible.

The result is a concert format in which vocal ensemble art comes to life as a dynamic dialogue between voices, musical traditions, and the audience.
