Noteworthy kicks off string of Utah performances with Feb. 28 concert in the de Jong Concert Hall

The BYU a cappella ensemble will deliver a show focused on what makes us human

BYU a cappella ensemble Noteworthy — comprised of nine female vocalists — will hit the stage of the de Jong Concert Hall Feb. 28 for their first on-campus concert of the year. The show is designed to inspire audiences by focusing on what makes us human.

“We’ve put our hearts and souls into creating this show, and we’re so excited to finally bring it to life,” said Noteworthy director Amy Whitcomb. “We open up about some difficult, personal, very real life experiences. We talk about weaknesses, imperfections and insecurities, and we celebrate these things because they make us real, human and whole.”

Noteworthy vocalist Ellie Hughes — a communications major — echoed Whitcomb, indicating that the show is special because it is not only about entertainment but also about empowerment.

“We would rather have people leave feeling uplifted and inspired to do something than talking about how good the show was,” Hughes said. “We strive to be excellent, but we are also real and want to share our challenges and experiences with the audience. Hopefully at the end of the show any type of audience member, no matter their age or gender, will walk away fully feeling the messages we share.”

The show begins a string of Utah performances for Noteworthy, including a stop at the Conference Center Theatre on March 13 for the BYU Winterfest concert series. The upcoming concerts seek to fulfill Noteworthy’s goal to “empower women and young people to discover their own unique identities and divine nature through the power of song.”

“Through our music, we hope to invite others to embrace what makes them unique,” Whitcomb said. “We hope to promote healing, growth, unity, love and joy. That’s the power of music.”
