Eight a cappella singing groups to perform
The Greater New Haven Community is invited to attend "United in Song for the United Way," a benefit concert for the United Way of Greater New Haven, presented by Whim 'n Rhythm and the Yale Whiffenpoofs. The concert will take place in Battell Chapel at Yale on Sunday, November 4, 2007, at 3:00 p.m. Suggested donations are $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students and children are free if accompanied by an adult. Tickets are available at the door, and all proceeds will benefit the Yale United Way Campaign.
Other Yale undergraduate singing groups scheduled to perform are The New Blue, Mixed Company, The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, the Spizzwinks, Something Extra, The Dukes Men, and The Baker's Dozen. Mark Dollhopf, Director of the Association of Yale Alumni and former Yale Whiffenpoof, will serve as Master of Ceremonies.
“Yale's United Way campaign is such a great cause, and this concert will really be something special,” said Danielle Gilbert, Business Manager for Whim ‘n Rhythm, Yale’s all-senior Women’s’ group. “It will be so incredible when we [Yale Singing groups] all do this together.”
This concert is a rare opportunity for the entire Yale and greater New Haven communities to hear such a broad sampling of songs and styles by Yale's famed a cappella singing groups. “This promises to be a wonderful afternoon of singing for a very worthy cause,” notes Gilbert.
