The Yale University Whiffenpoofs Come to Short Hills!

Come hear the Yale Whiffenpoofs, the nation's oldest a cappella singing group, perform an hour-long public concert at Christ Church in Short Hills!

Each year, 14 senior Yale men are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs.  Made famous by the signature "Whiffenpoof Song" (which has been covered by artists like Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, and Rudy Vallee), the 'Whiffs' continue their century-old tradition each year with over 200 performances in venues like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Rose Bowl.  They have been featured on TV shows such as NBC's The Sing Off, The West Wing, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, Gilmore Girls, Jeopardy, Saturday Night Live, and most recently on the Season 4 finale of Glee.  Last year, the Whiffenpoofs sang for President Obama at the White House and toured to over 25 countries on 6 continents.  You can learn more about them at www.whiffenpoofs.com.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and children.
