Written by Michael P. Walsh

WEST HAVEN, CT — Yale University’s Whiffenpoofs, the nation’s best-known collegiate a cappella group, are performing a benefit concert at the West Haven Veterans Museum on Nov. 1, Mayor Dorinda Borer announced.

The concert is presented by the city and will raise money for the museum, a living history of America at war based at 30 Hood Terrace.

Tickets are $15 and sold at the door, which opens at 3:30 p.m. The concert starts at 4 p.m.

Because seating is limited, people are encouraged to preregister by emailing whveteransmuseum@gmail.com or calling 203-934-1111.

The Whiffenpoofs are America’s oldest collegiate a cappella group, founded in 1909, and have become one of Yale’s most celebrated traditions.

Singing a mixture of old Yale tunes, jazz standards and other hits from across the decades, the Whiffenpoofs perform more than 200 concerts across six continents each year, according to the group’s website.
