Yale Spizzwinks
May 15, 2023
a capella group

The Spizzwinks is America's first underclassman a cappella group.

In the winter of 1913, four Yale freshmen met at Mory's Temple Bar, Yale's historic tavern, to decide on a name for their new singing group.  This new group had been created to provide audiences with a light-hearted alternative to the Whiffenpoofs, Yale's older, all-senior a cappella group, who was known as much for their stodginess as for their musical excellence.  Since their historic beginning at Mory's, the Spizzwinks have proudly carried on a tradition of musical excellence and camaraderie as one of America's oldest choirs.

This Performance will be in the LIPS Atrium in the Charlton Building

The combination of vibes and bass is unique and interesting to jazz aficionados and those unfamiliar with the jazz tradition.  The duo has played annually at Northfield's summer Bridge Chamber Festival at venues such as St. Olaf College, Carleton College, and the Grand Theater.
