California Golden Overtones
We are the California Golden Overtones (aka the Tones), UC Berkeley’s premier all-female identifying a cappella group! Founded in 1962, we cover music ranging from pop to R&B, and we love to sing songs primarily written by women.
Audition!
We will hold auditions for Fall 2025 from September 1st-7th. Fill out this interest form and follow us on Instagram to stay updated on audition information. While the Tones are a historically female-identifying group, the beatboxer position is open to those of all gender identities. Find more information on our auditions page. Feel free to DM us on Instagram or email us at overtones@ucchoral.berkeley.edu with any questions.
Upcoming Performances
