Saturday, Dec. 9, 7:30-9:30 p.m.—WOODSTOCK—The Yale Alley Cats will perform at Woodstock Town Hall Theatre, located at 31 The Green, in Woodstock this Saturday. Don’t miss this world-renowned a cappella group from Yale University. They have been making music around the world since their founding back in 1943.
The Cats have created over 400 original arrangements from jazz standards to Motown, from timeless oldies to contemporary chart-toppers. The group has released several dozen albums, held 79 annual champagne jamborees, and performed for public figures such as President Barack Obama, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Martha Stewart, and Jay Leno.
In true Cat fashion, as the first Yale a cappella group to tour internationally, the group has a unique brand of refined TTBB harmonies, stylistic expertise, and witty charm.
In its 80th season, with tours to Hawaii, China, Switzerland, and South Africa in the works, there has truly never been a better time to catch a concert of The Yale Alley Cats.
All arranged by current or former Alley Cats, the songs reflect both its tradition and diversity. The group has grown over its 80 years to include a mix of everything from the Temptations and Michael Jackson to Sam Smith and Alicia Keys. They add modern pieces while staying true to the roots in jazz standards from the likes of Gershwin, Ellington, and Porter. Their complex arrangements and acknowledged musicality allow them to perform for any audience — it’s always an exciting Yale Alley Cats experience.
Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for kids (Under 16). For more information, visit: pentanglearts.org.
