The Whiffenpoofs at Jazz In The Kitchen

Every year, a group of rising 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 Mory's Temple Bar, the famous Yale tavern. Today, the group has become one of Yale's most celebrated traditions, and they are known around the world.

The Whiffenpoofs have performed for generations at a number of venues, including the Lincoln Center, the White House, the Salt Lake Tabernacle, Oakland Coliseum, Carnegie Hall and the Rose Bowl. The group has appeared on such television shows as Jeopardy!, The Today Show, Saturday Night Live, 60 Minutes, Gilmore Girls, The West Wing, and Glee.

This is the first year that the Whiffs have admitted a female - Sofía Campoamor - to their group!!!

We look forward to welcoming this prestigious a cappella group for an evening of two sets of music, and camaraderie. CDs will be available for purchase. ($20CDN)
