đź“ŤBROWNING CENTER AT WSU
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 at WSU. Carols rearranged until they sound new, Christmas pop built from a bass line up, and a room carried by nothing but voices.
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.
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.
A BYU Vocal Point and Noteworthy Christmas lands at the Browning Center at WSU on Tuesday, December 8, 2026 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale now.
