    The Baker's Dozen

    The Baker’s Dozen of Yale University is one of the nation’s oldest and finest collegiate men’s a cappella groups. This ensemble, founded in 1947 and comprised of eighteen male undergraduates, performs a variety of arrangements ranging from traditional ballads to jazz, rock and contemporary hits. The group has entertained prestigious audiences at venues such as the White House, the United Nations, and celebrities’ parties in Hollywood. The Dwight School is now on that list as well! The Baker’s Dozen performed for Dwight students and faculty at the Music Assembly on February 23rd. It was a wonderfully entertaining performance, one we hope becomes a tradition here at The Dwight School! Special thanks to Music Director Natasha Zaitseff for helping to arrange their visit.
