For information call 973-994-2290. Magevet is Yale University\'s a cappella group dedicated to singing Jewish, Hebrew, andIsraeli music. Founded in 1993, they are known for their unique, diverse repertoire; their sweet and sophisticated vocal blend; and their spunky, lighthearted sense of humor. They sing everything from Renaissance pieces to Yemenite dance tunes to modern Israeli pop (not to mention a 5/4 ode to a coffeepot a la Dave Brubeck). When the group is not in New Haven serenading the Yale campus, Magevet tours around the United States and the world, sharing their warmth and enthusiasm with Jewish communities both near and far. Magevet is distinctive among Jewish a cappella groups for the diversity and musical sophistication of our repertoire. A typical Magevet concert brings together the music of a wide range of Jewish experience, from the 15th century until the present. At the core of their performances is their deep respect for the rich musical traditions thatJudaism has inspired and our commitment to sharing the full range of this tradition with the Jewish community today. Most of our arrangements were written by members of the group.
