LinkLinks Washington Post: It took 109 years, but Yale’s storied a cappella group has its first female singer — and she’s a D.C. native By Editor On Feb 8, 2019 Last updated Feb 8, 2019 98 Share When Sofia Campoamor was a ninth-grader at Washington’s Sidwell Friends School, a special-guest group dropped by her chorus class: the Whiffenpoofs, the oldest college a cappella group in the country. The members of the singing group told Campoamor and her friends about their astounding opportunity — a one-year trip around the world as members of a storied Yale University troupe that performs for packed concert halls, television audiences and even presidents. Cole Porter had even been a member in 1913. Music 98 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
