The Yale Whiffenpoofs — America’s oldest collegiate a cappella group — will perform at Eliot Church (474 Centre Street, Newton Corner) on October 28, 5:30PM-7PM. The concert will have two 40-minute sets and will feature Newton’s own Whiffenpoof, Ethan Kopf (Newton South HS ’20). Tickets are $20 ($10 for children and students).
“Every year, 14 senior Yale students 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 weekly at Mory’s Temple Bar. Today, the group has become one of Yale’s most celebrated traditions. Singing a mixture of old Yale tunes, jazz standards, and other hits from across the decades, the Whiffenpoofs perform more than 200 concerts across six continents each year.”
The Newton concert will be the final leg of the Whiffenpoofs’ fall tour, following stops in New York, Boise, and Salt Lake City.
