About the Groups
Allusion: Nationally recognized, MBU’s vocal jazz/pop ensemble, consists of talented singers who perform throughout Missouri. The group is accompanied by a traditional "jazz combo" of piano, bass and drums, all in the care of a student sound tech. The group took first place last spring in the NYC Vocal Jazz Festival’s collegiate division, winning a featured appearance in the opening of the 2006 Festival Concert in the Allen Room of Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Chamber Singers: Chamber Singers perform challenging sacred and secular choral music from all styles and periods. The highly selective performance group has performed at multiple venues across the world in recent years.
In Charactre: Now in its eleventh year, In Charactre is MBU’s touring drama troupe ministry. In Charactre is made up of 7 members from all over campus, but who unite for one purpose—to share God’s Word through drama. A typical In Charactre presentation will include short plays based on parables, the Psalms, as well as humorous and dramatic pieces that show God’s hand in everyday life. In Charactre is devoted to drama ministry as worship while providing another mode of sharing the gospel.
