The 2025–26 Traditional Series opens with Windborne, a virtuoso a cappella vocal quartet. Many of their works are original compositions, while others are highly original adaptations from over two centuries of American vocal music. The quartet’s embracing of traditional folk music and their special love of social activism for some of America’s great 20th-century songwriters highlight their repertoire. This is a cappella music at its finest.
