Yale Whiffenpoofs and Yale Spizzwinks(?) Concert
February 10, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$5 – $35
Max Sauberman (Millburn High School alum, Class of 2013) is a member of the Yale Whiffenpoofs, the oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group in the world, founded in 1909.
Every year, 14 Yale men are selected to be in the group and they tour across the country and the world, performing over 250 concerts and culminating in a 90-day world tour that spans over 20 countries from Europe to Australia.Travel and lodging are entirely self funded by revenue from concerts and CD sales (not by Yale), and the singers themselves don’t pay anything. Most members take an academic leave of absence and devote their “Whiff Year” entirely to travel and performance, returning to Yale the following year to complete their education.
The group has become one of Yale University’s most celebrated traditions, gathering a notable audience including Ronald Reagan, George Bush I and II, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama. The group has performed in venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center, and for events such as The World Series, Saturday Night Live, Glee, The West Wing, and NBC’s The Sing Off.
Max is also an alum of The Yale Spizzwinks(?), America’s first and oldest underclassman a cappella group, founded in 1914.
Jake Gluckman (Millburn High School alum, Class of 2016!) is currently a member of the Spizzwinks(?).
The Spizzwinks(?) tour the world (visiting all six inhabited continents every three years), and perform over 100 concerts each year, singing repertoire ranging from pop/rock to musical theater to country to jazz standards. They are also a 14 member all-male group, and are known for their generous dose of choreography and unique brand of humor.
The opening act will be Millburn High School’s student a cappella group, Soulfege A Cappella (just coming off a winning performance at the quarterfinals for the International Championship of High School A Cappella). Both Max and Jake are former Soulfege directors.
This concert will be fun for all ages!
