The Yale Society of Orpheus and Bacchus A Cappella Performance | Hari's Hometown Concert
About the Society of Orpheus and Bacchus:
On Halloween in 1938, twelve of the sweetest voices at Yale converged on Mory’s Temple Bar to form an a cappella group unlike any other. This group went without a name until they capitalized on a backhanded compliment received at a party— heard above the tinkle of ice was “Those SOBs can sing!”
Turning the expletive into an acronym, the group drew on the legend of Orpheus, the most famous musician of ancient Greece, and Bacchus, the god of revelry. Since then, the group has made emulating those namesakes their mission, bringing great music and great vibes wherever they go.
The Society of Orpheus and Bacchus is the longest-running underclassmen a cappella group in the nation. We have an enormous repertoire spanning more than eight decades that includes traditional, jazz, blues, rock and roll, and original compositions.
We maintain a robust touring schedule, performing concerts each year around the globe—at venues such as The White House, The Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
We’re a student-run, completely self-funded, tax-deductible 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The funds generated from programs such as these go directly towards our extensive domestic and international outreach programs.
Our blend of musical excellence, spontaneity, and laughter has kept audiences around the world entertained for more than 85 years and promises to continue to do so for decades to come.
