The public is again invited to St. Mark’s celebration of pitch perfect music. The school’s annual a cappella festival features students from several high schools and two colleges.
The festival, established in 1992 through the generosity of the Wick family and friends, is offered annually in memory of Myron A. Wick, St. Mark’s class of 1933, in honor of his lifelong enjoyment of singing.
The two night event is scheduled to start a week from Friday.
Wick features singers from St. Mark’s a cappella groups and from other local schools. Algonquin is traditionally one of them, and is performing on the second night of the 2 day event this year.
Each evening is capped off by performances from a university group. This year’s participants are:
- Friday, February 6th:
- St. Mark’s School
- The Wheeler School
- Milton Academy
- Groton School
- Berklee College of Music
- Saturday, February 7th:
- St. Mark’s School
- Roxbury Latin
- Middlesex School
- Algonquin Regional High School
- Noble and Greenough School
- Boston College
Below are pics from last year’s entertainment:
The concerts begin at 7:30 pm in the Putnam Family Arts Center, 25 Marlboro Road. (Click here for the campus map.) Admission is free and open to the public.
If you can’t make it in person, you can also live stream it here.
Updated (1/28/26 10:22 am): Apparently, the school had accidentally sent me the wrong version of the event poster. The correct one (now posted) shows that the lineup is set for both nights and includes Algonquin. (Originally, I noted that despite usually participating, the school wasn’t in this year’s schedule.)
