Christmas with BYU Vocal Point and Noteworthy in Ogden is a double bill of the two best collegiate a cappella ensembles on the planet, each bringing their own Christmas set to the Browning Center. Carols rearranged until they sound new, Christmas pop built from a bass line up, and a room carried by nothing but voices.
BYU Vocal Point & Noteworthy: A new Christmas tradition
Both groups earned their reputations the same way: arrangements so tight they make pop songs sound like film scores and carols feel like they were written yesterday. BYU Vocal Point, the nine-man ensemble founded in 1991, advanced to the final five on NBC's "The Sing-Off" and has racked up more than 185 million YouTube views. Their viral hits range from a CASA Award-winning "Beauty and the Beast" medley to a gospel-soul take on "Nearer, My God, to Thee" with 9 million plays. Noteworthy, the nine-woman ensemble founded in 2003, won the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in 2007. They were only the second all-female group in the competition's history to take the title. Their cover of "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" has been watched 43 million times on YouTube alone.
A double bill built for Christmas
Together these two groups released a full-length Christmas album, "He Is Born," and their joint holiday tour has become a staple of the Wasatch Front December calendar. The Ogden stop runs as a double bill. Vocal Point brings a set of carols and Christmas pop. Noteworthy brings a set that moves between sacred standards and contemporary holiday material. If the two groups close the night together for a joint number, expect the kind of layered a cappella arrangement that has powered their shared tour for a decade. The show works for everyone in the family — kids stay engaged, grandparents recognize half the setlist, and the skeptical teenager leaves a convert.
