CARITAS A CAPPELLA ENSEMBLE was formed in 2015, under the leadership of Artistic Director Cathy Youngblood. The group has inspired and delighted its Charlotte-area audiences with its challenging musical selections, its polished performances, and its vision to make an impact in the community. In 2017 Caritas A Cappella Ensemble was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of Caritas, 'a cappella artistry with a purpose', is lived out through our efforts to stimulate, develop, and promote the appreciation of a cappella singing through public concerts, and through our donation of a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales to charitable organizations.
