About the Metrotones
The Columbia Metrotones are Columbia University’s premier all-gender SSAA a cappella group. We were founded in 1983, when Columbia became a coeducational institution. We perform at a wide variety of venues and events in and outside of New York City. Our repertoire is ever-changing and eclectic, including pop, R&B, and indie music, and that one time we sang backup for Vampire Weekend.
At heart, the Metrotones are a group of friends who love a cappella and each other. We take our music very seriously, but we also love just hanging out and having a good time. As our alum Lauren Graham once described in an interview with Time Out New York, being in the Metrotones was “all about the music,” but it also helped her “get lucky.” We’re not going to argue with that.
The Metrotones are available for bookings, and we perform at events of all shapes and sizes.
