Bangkok--10 Jul--The Sukosol
Fourteen talented young men from Yale University, known as the Whiffenpoofs, are yet again set to thrill Thai music lovers in July with their unique singing style. The Whiffs annually tour the globe performing in superb harmony entirely without instrumental accompaniment to packed theatres.
The group is one of the world’s oldest and most famous American a cappella legends; so named for their light-hearted mood of “free and exuberant fancy”. Founded in 1909, the Whiffs began as a senior quintet but quickly became an in-demand tour de force on the musical scene. They have performed for a range of distinguished guests, including Mother Theresa, the Dalai Lama and former U.S. Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton. Not to mention having a cameo on the final episode in season four of Fox’s hit TV show Glee.
The group’s repertoire draws on a long heritage of original arrangements from many styles and eras, whereby they routinely supplement their traditional barbershop and choral foundation with jazz standards, pop songs and comedy routines. Some examples of their repertoire include "House of the Rising Sun", "When the Saints Go Marching In", "When You Wish Upon a Star" and new worldwide hit "Skinny Love".
For an exclusive night they’ll be performing in Bangkok for The Sukosol. They will perform at 8:30 pm at Rattanakosin Lounge, The Sukosol. These events are Baht 500 nett with one standard cocktail, Baht 250 nett with one soft drink for students (with a valid student ID card) or Baht 1, 200 nett with a free cocktail and pre-show buffet dinner at Patummat International Restaurant.
