Wellesley Widows
Wellesley, US The Wellesley Widows are a thirteen-voice a cappella singing group. We
have been singing together for over fifty years, making us one of the
nation's oldest women's collegiate a cappella singing ensembles. We first
performed as "flappers" for a father-daughter weekend back in 1949.
Originally called the "College Octet," the Widows borrowed the song "Mimi
the College Widow" from the Yale Whiffenpoofs, changing the lyrics to "We
are the College Widows," and the name stuck. Today we have a wide
repertoire, specializing in popular music from the 1930s to the present,
including modern songs by the Beatles, Shakira and Bon Jovi. We are proud
to carry on a tradition of fine musical entertainment to audiences all
over the United States as: The Wellesley Widows - Dressed to Kill since
1949.
