RADCLIFFE PITCHES

Wednesday, Jan 14 at 8:00pm

The Radcliffe Pitches are Harvard's oldest female a cappellasinging group, founded in 1975 at the historic Hasty Pudding Club.  Founders Dianne Nabatoff '78 and Kathy Manning '78 were undergraduates at Radcliffe College when they created the Pitches as a group for female voices to sing in a close harmony setting.

Today, the group is composed of 13 Harvard undergraduate women who love to sing.  The Pitches perform a large and varied repertoire of jazz standards, swing and boogie-woogie, and contemporary pieces, drawing upon the musical stylings of inspirational figures such as Ella Fitzgerald, the Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee, and Nancy Wilson.  Every year, the Pitches perform many concerts at Harvard and around the world, with recent tour destinations including New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, Bermuda, and more!  The Pitches are excited to be celebrating their 40th anniversary with their first-ever tour to Florida in January 2015!
