Every year, fourteen senior Yale men are selected to be The Whiffenpoofs. Founded in 1909, the “Whiffs” began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at Mory’s Temple Bar, the renowned Yale tavern. Today, the group has become one of Yale’s most celebrated and hallowed traditions, carrying on more than a century of musical excellence and professional showmanship at Yale, across America, and around the world.
Each Whiffenpoof group maintains a busy schedule throughout the year, records an album, and circles the globe on a six-continent tour. Audiences have included such notable figures as President Ronald Reagan, the Dalai Lama, and Mother Teresa. They have also performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Rose Bowl.
The Whiffenpoofs perform a wide range of music including vintage Yale songs, original compositions, and popular hits.
