Anthology has a concert Friday (probably today, depending on when you are reading this.) I know, I know, didn't we just have a concert? But this one is completely different. We are sharing the stage with Vocaldente, an award-winning a cappella group from Germany! They are the winners of the national 2008 Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival. Check out their website if you would like to see snazzy videos of them performing. We are very excited to be their hosts for this concert, and we hope you can make the performance!
