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 composed of thirteen of the best senior soprano-alto singers at Yale. Since its founding, the members of Whim ‘n Rhythm have recorded professional studio albums and traveled to every continent to share their talent and love of singing with audiences around the world, all while promoting the role of women in higher education and music.
Whim ‘n Rhythm’s diverse repertoire ranges from upbeat jazz standards to 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 events, and school assemblies. Our music has been recognized worldwide and was featured in the Best of Collegiate A Cappella.
