Doors 7:00pm, Show 8pm
Every year, 14 Yale seniors are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world’s oldest and best known collegiate a cappella group. Founded in
1909, the ”Whiffs” began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at Mary’s Temple Bar, the famous Yale tavern. Today, the group has become one of
Yale’s most celebrated traditions, with over a century of musical excellence.

In 1981, seven Yale women came together to form the university’s first and only senior women’s a cappella group. Today, Whim ‘n Rhythm is a nonprofit organization comprised of the best senior soprano-alto singers at Yale. Since its foundation, the members of Whim ‘n Rhythm have recorded professional studio albums and traveled to every continent, all while promoting the vital importance of gender equity in higher education and music. Whim ‘n Rhythm’s performance experience spans domestic and international destinations, including the White House, multiple U.S. Embassies in Asia, Europe, Africa & Oceania, and for Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretaries of State Hilary Clinton and John Kerry.

Beer, wine, and concessions will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
