Barbershop harmony is music created in its very pure form with nothing but human voices coming together to create a rich and satisfying texture that is pleasing to the ears and invigorating to the soul. Vocal Point delights in creating music collectively that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Formed in 2004, Vocal Point includes: Monterey Bay Belles chorus director, Kristen Thompson who sings Lead; Jane Heider-Samuels the group’s tenor, Eva McDonald on bass and Laura Kershner who sings baritone.
The group’s repertoire includes classics from today and yesterday and will feature a number of holiday songs this season.
