The Whiffenpoofs, Yale University's world-famous a cappella singing group, will make history when it performs this fall at the University of California, Merced. It will be the group's first visit to the San Joaquin Valley, and their first performance at any UC campus.
"This is an exciting event for UC Merced," said Gail Benedict, producing manager for Arts UC Merced Presents. "If you like the TV show 'Glee,' you will love the Whiffenpoofs, because the Warblers on 'Glee' were modeled after the Whiffenpoofs. I am very proud that Merced is the first UC to host the Whiffenpoofs."
UC Merced can add another first to its list — dedicated space for an art gallery.
