Counterpoint

Counterpoint was founded in 2000 by Carolyn Weger as Carnegie Mellon’s first all women & nonbinary inclusive acappella group. Since then, we have worked hard to redefine the limits of an all treble voices a cappella group's potential. Our dedication and friendships with one another infuse our music with warmth and unity.

In 2008, we founded the AcaPittsburgh benefit concert, and we have been holding concerts to benefit local causes and non-profits every year since. We also compete at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) annually. In 2020, we placed second at the ICCA Central Quarterfinals and moved onto Semifinals but unfortunately were not able to perform due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2024, Counterpoint placed second at the ICCA Central Quarterfinals and we moved onto Semifinals on March 9th, 2024 in Buffalo, NY. Some of our other concerts at CMU include Harvest Concert, Almost Midnight A Cappella, No Instruments Aloud, the Carnival A Cappella Concert, and our Spring Concert.
