Please join the Harvard Club of Seattle and IvyPlus Alumni to see Verdi's La Traviata plus a Private Social Reception before the performance and during intermission.

Register through the Harvard Club here. See pricing and more information below.

The event includes a private reception for 60 attendees including wine and light appetizers one hour before the performance, 6:30pm-7:30pm, and again during intermission, to allow for socializing and connecting.

La Traviata tells the story of the tragic love between the courtesan Violetta and the romantic Alfredo Germont.  Played out against the hypocrisy of upper-class fashionable society, Alfredo and Violetta’s love threatens to shame his family.  When his father directly appeals to Violetta to relinquish her one chance of happiness, Violetta submits and her act of self-sacrifice leads to her paying the ultimate price.

Below see Letter from Logan Foy - Musical Director of the Yale Alley Cats.

_____

Hello! My name is Logan Foy. I'm a current Yale College sophomore from Bellingham, Washington and the Musical Director of the Yale Alley Cats, one of Yale's most renowned a cappella groups, founded in 1943.

This May, I have the special opportunity to bring the Cats to the PNW for my hometown tour! We will be in Seattle from May 10th-13th, Bellingham until the 16th, and then in Vancouver BC until the 19th. I am absolutely thrilled to show the Alley Cats around the place I call home. In order to give them the best PNW experience, there are a few things I am working to figure out. I'm wondering if any alums from Yale Seattle would be willing and wanting to help.

First, as a group that gets zero financial support from the University, we try to minimize costs of tour as much as possible. One of the most prominent ways we do this is by looking for homestay opportunities (most often with Yale alums). If there is anyone who would be interested in learning more about hosting the Alley Cats for the 10th-13th, during our time in Seattle, please let me know. We have 14 members, but are very willing to split into different homes in smaller groups. Hosting does not have to require anything but having an empty bed/couch for a few of us to sleep. We will spend most of our time out exploring the city!  Of course, we can sing a few songs for our stay :).  

Secondly, we are looking for performance opportunities during our time in Seattle. We often gig for private schools, retirement homes, churches, charities, corporate offices, and private events while on tour. Some recent examples include, Yale Club of Greece, Indian Harbor Yacht Club (in Greenwich, Connecticut), Morgan Stanley, and Amazon (New Haven office). If you work for or interact with an organization that might want to hire us to perform, please reach out and I will give you more information. Here is a link to our client reel, which gives some insight into what the group offers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=vwa7zRi1ASo 

Lastly, even if you don't know of any potential gig opportunities, it would still mean a lot for you to come hear us sing while we are in the Northwest! We always love to meet Yale alumni wherever we go, as you all are very inspiring and interesting people with amazing experiences and wisdom. That being said, we are having a public concert in Bellingham on May 13th, at 7pm. If you can make it up, please come! I would love to see you there.

Tickets and information available here.

Join TUIB for a performance at the Royal Room in Seattle on March 19 or catch them at the Capitol Hill Farmers’ Market or on Orcas Island. Details below.

Tangled Up in Blue (TUIB), Yale’s premier folk singing group, is excited to invite alumni to a matinee performance on Sunday, March 19th at the Royal Room as part of their upcoming spring break tour in Seattle. The event is open to the public, and TUIB is hoping to draw a healthy crowd to help cover travel expenses — they’re coming a long way from New Haven! Doors open at 2:00 PM, and the show starts at 2:30. Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door.

Founded in the late 1980s, TUIB (pronounced twihb) has a repertoire that ranges from the bluegrass tunes of Appalachia to traditional Irish ballads, and from the folk-rock hits of Bob Dylan to the contemporary jams of Valerie June and Brandi Carlile. They sing four-part folk harmonies and accompany themselves on guitar, banjo, fiddle, viola, and mandolin. Nowadays, TUIB is putting an even greater emphasis on the excavation, documentation, and sharing of folk music histories, especially those that have been deliberately left out of the American folk “canon.” The group performs frequently on campus, including a recent public performance at the Yale University Art Gallery.

You can also catch TUIB in action at the Capitol Hill Farmers’ Market on March 18th from 11AM to noon and at the University District market on Saturday afternoon, or at the Orcas Grange on Orcas Island at 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 23rd.

Tickets for TUIB’s performance at the Royal Room can be purchased using the following link: https://theroyalroomseattle.com/event/tangled-up-in-blue/?instance_id=6347

Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to RSVP through following Facebook event page: https://fb.me/e/2dPmax1b5
