Formed in the fall of 2005, Vocal Point quickly distinguished itself as one of St. Louis’s premiere a cappella ensembles. Vocal Point performs both classical and popular music from Renaissance to contemporary styles, including motets, madrigals, jazz standards, folk songs, spirituals, multi-cultural pieces, pop and doo-wop tunes, and more. The group consists of about twenty singers who are selected by audition as demonstrating great versatility, refined musicianship, and passion for excellence. In 2013, Vocal Point traveled to Boston to give a series of performances and workshops. In 2021, Vocal Point cut an EP titled Hello New Day.
For membership in Vocal Point, students must be a member of University Singers. Students will be asked to participate in a special audition process during the first week of classes in the fall semester.
