Redhot & Blue Comes to Greenwich

Yale's Redhot & Blue a cappella group will sing in Greenwich Feb. 22. The group is familiar to Westchester, having sung in concerts in Rye four times since 2015. 

Yale's oldest co-ed a cappella group Redhot & Blue heads to Greenwich Saturday, Feb. 22, to participate in an a cappella jamboree. The Yale group will be joined by Greenwich's Off Sounders at the Christ Church (254 East Putnam Ave.).

Yale alumni in the Westchester area and their guests are invited to attend the concert, which starts at 7 pm. Community Concerts of Greenwich is sponsoring the affair and also hosted Yale's Alley Cats for a concert in October in Greenwich.

Redhot and Blue, which turns 43 in 2020, has sung in the Westchester-Greenwich area regularly in recent years. The group was featured at concerts in Rye in Dec., 2015, Feb., 2017, Mar., 2018, and in Oct., 2018, at the Osborne Auditorium and at the invitation of late YWAA director Bill Nightingale '53. Every year, it plans an international concert schedule.

Its current repertoire includes such familiar tunes as "Summertime," "Fever," and "Lullaby of Birdland." It takes its name from the musical by the same name written by Cole Porter '13.

Greenwich's Off Sounders is a local group formed in 1956, singing contemporary, jazz and pop songs. 

Tickets will be available soon on the Community Concerts website.
