What We Do
VocalPoint uses the power of people, art, and collaboration to tell the stories of organizations doing life-changing work.
Our Mission
We shine a spotlight on important issues such as youth homelessness, the immigrant experience, and sex trafficking. We give 100% of performance-driven donations to a worthy cause that will make a dramatic impact in everyday lives. We have collaborated with such gifted headlining musicians as Maria Jette, Jearlyn Steele, Copper Street Brass Quintet, Peter Mayer, the three-time Grammy-winning Sounds of Blackness, Sara Thomsen, Flobots, Chastity Brown, and MaMuse.
Our programs are multi-sensory collaborations that are unlike any other choral concerts. In our ten seasons, we have supported the work of Open Arms of Minnesota, Avenues for Homeless Youth, Neighborhood House, The Advocates for Human Rights, Upstream Arts, One Heartland, Twin Cities R!SE, Walk-In Counseling Center, The Lift Garage, and Urban Roots. Highlights include hosting panels of the AIDS Quilt, singing with the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, being dazzled by the puppets of In the Heart of the Beast, and singing to the breathtaking choreography of Zenon Dance Company. We’ve commissioned pieces by Abbie Betinis, Joan Szymko, and Shruthi Rajasekar, and had the honor of premiering pieces by Elizabeth Alexander, Linda Kachelmeier, and Abbie Betinis.
