Kaleidoscope Quartet Illinois Tour

Minnesota’s Kaleidoscope Quartet is bringing their artisanal a cappella to Illinois!

Come hear the greatest hits from their Fuschia, Vermilion, and Cerulean programs: a colorful mix of folk tunes, pop songs, and new music by living composers, tailored to the Quartet’s wide range and distinctive blend.

This is a great event for couples, families, friends, or even a solo night of music. We love sharing the wonders of vocal music with everyone and anyone who likes to bask in rich harmonies.

Discounts for 65+ and students age 13 through college. Children 12 and under get in free.

Kaleidoscope Quartet is a Twin Cities-based vocal ensemble known for its tight harmonies, layered textures, and bold musical range. With decades of experience between them, Ian Cook (tenor 2), Taylor Quinn (baritone), Dana Skoglund (bass 2), and Jack Vishneski (tenor 1) create four-part a cappella shows full of joy, range, and soul.

The group grew out of a series of in-home concerts for Dana’s wife, Cheryl. Confined at home with complications from a heart transplant, Cheryl loved the sounds of a male quartet but couldn’t attend concerts. So Dana brought the sound to her, inviting Jack, Taylor, and others to sing in their living room. Cheryl passed away in November 2020. One of her parting wishes was to have a grand concert at her memorial service. Grief and the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the service a year, during which Ian Cook joined the group. In November 2021, the group performed Cheryl’s favorites for hundreds of people at the service. The beauty of that moment made it clear—these guys needed to keep singing together and discover the full spectrum of their joined voices.

Today, Kaleidoscope Quartet performs across Minnesota and beyond, carefully curating their programs to feature songs new and old from diverse genres. Be it a theater stage, or a more intimate venue, a KQ show is a great event for couples, families, friends, or even a solo night of music.
