Others
This group was created in 1981 by seven fourth-year students, following Yale's 'a capella' tradition, who were interested in promoting equality for women. Each concert season, fourteen final year students at this American university, are selected at the end of their third year of degree for their special vocal skills to continue the Whim'n Rhythm tradition. All of them are full-time students, and they improve their musical skills during their free time.
Whim'n Rhythm performs throughout the whole academic year at university campuses, private parties, clubs, corporate events, schools and restaurants all over USA. The concert season will end with an International Tour, following the choir members' graduation in May.
This year, Whim'n Rhythm will be celebrating its 25th anniversary with a seven-week tour throughout Asia, Europe and Hawaii. The group's visit to the University of Deusto is part of this tour.
PROGRAMME
The choir is expected to visit the University at 10:30 am, with short performances in the cloisters and the Maze. At 11:00 am, Whim'n Rhythm will beheading for the Guggenheim Museum, across the Padre Arrupe footbridge, where they will stop to give a short performance. At 11:30 am, the choir will be performing inside the Guggenheim Museum.
Whim'n Rhythm has a wide musical repertoire suitable for any occasion. It takes in from jazz scores to contemporary pop music, including classical tunes, traditional ballads and, occasionally, some of the group's original pieces.
