The Harvard Krokodiloes - Harvards älteste A-Cappella Gruppe

In the organizer's words:

The Harvard Krokodiloes are Harvard University's oldest a cappella singing group, founded in 1946. Over the past 76 years, the Kroks have performed the music of the Great American Songbook and many more titles beyond for audiences from Cambridge and around the world. Their musical excellence and professional approach to their performances is what sets the Krokodiloes apart and fills them with pride. Their excellent musicianship and youthful energy, combined with their unique blend of snappy choreography and witty humor, have made them an instant crowd-pleaser wherever they appear. The Krokodiloes also have an extensive repertoire of recordings dating back to the group's beginnings. Our motto, known to the Kroks and their alumni worldwide, was established by former music director Stuart Patterson (79): Nunc Est Cantandum! (Now is the time to sing!)

Why we sing

As a professional performing arts ensemble made up of students, we are dedicated to bringing the joy of music and performance to our audiences, inspiring young people around the world to pursue their dreams in education and music, and helping people and communities in need around the world. The Kroks perform throughout the academic year in Boston and New York, and also go on tour three times a year.

The Krokodiloes on tour

The Krokodiloes go on three tours each year: our winter tour, a 2-3 week North American tour in January, our traditional Bermuda tour in March, and our summer tour, an international tour that spans 12 weeks, 5+ continents, and 20+ countries. We pride ourselves on providing audiences everywhere with a unique experience by performing our popular repertoire of jazz, funk, soul, ballads, pop and more.

This event is organized in cooperation with the Amerikahaus.
