With the planned retirement of Dana Skoglund, Kaleidoscope Quartet seeks a resonant low bass with entrepreneurial spirit. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated singer who wants to play an equal role in all aspects (artistic & business) of running a professional a cappella group.

About Us
Four voices. Harmony in every hue. Kaleidoscope Quartet sings a cappella music with joy, range, and soul.
The Quick Version
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.
Our Story
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.
