Whim 'n Rhythm A Capella

In 1981, seven Yale women came together to form the university’s first and only senior women’s a cappella group. Today Whim ‘n Rhythm is a nonprofit organization comprised of thirteen of the best senior female singers at Yale.

Since its foundation, the members of Whim ‘n Rhythm have recorded professional studio albums and traveled to every continent, all while promoting the role of women in higher education and music.

Since its founding, Whim ‘n Rhythm has achieved world renowned acclaim and performed in venues ranging from high schools to embassies to the U.S. White House. In addition to our two domestic tours in the United States, every year Whim embarks on a two-month long world tour during the summer following graduation.

Whim ‘n Rhythm’s diverse repertoire ranges from upbeat jazz standards to classic show tunes, from contemporary pop hits to traditional folk ballads. We frequently update our repertoire and have created a collection of music that can be altered to fit a broad range of venues, including dinner parties, weddings, holiday celebrations, school assemblies, and business events. Our music has been recognized nationally and was featured in the Best of Collegiate a Cappella.
