As of 1981, Yale's vibrant a cappella scene featured a dozen underclassman groups of every variety. However, seven senior women felt that a key part of their musical experience was missing - a senior group. These seven seniors founded Whim n' Rhythm as an answer to the decades-old tradition of The Whiffenpoofs. Thirty-four years later, the 14 singers of Whim n' Rhythm represent the best and most experienced female musicians of the senior class.
Each year the group performs all over the world

As of 1981, Yale’s vibrant a cappella scene featured a dozen underclassman groups of every variety. However, seven senior women felt that a key part of their musical experience was missing – a senior group. These seven seniors founded Whim n’ Rhythm as an answer to the decades-old tradition of The Whiffenpoofs. Thirty-four years later, the 14 singers of Whim n’ Rhythm represent the best and most experienced female musicians of the senior class.
Each year the group performs all over the world visiting locations from New York and Los Angeles to Hong Kong and Cairo, and recently founded a full-fledged Alumnae Board to help build the group’s legacy from beyond Yale’s campus. Post-commencement, the group traditionally embarks on a four-to-six week World Tour, hitting nearly every continent.
Our very own Aquinas Chamber Singers will be opening the performance, don’t miss what is sure to be a wonderful kickoff to 2018!
