The Yale Alley Cats A Cappella Concert
Please join us for an a cappella concert featuring the musical talents of The Yale Alley Cats on Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 2 pm, on “the Green” (the central carpeted area), Youth Services Department, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library.
The Yale Alley Cats, founded all the way back in 1943, are Yale’s classiest, best-dressed, and most energetic a cappella group. Though they started out as a jazz group and continue to sing many American jazz classics, their repertoire has expanded over the decades to include pop hits, Motown, musical theater, and more! Their diverse selection, combined with their engaging performance style and musicianship, enables them to entertain all sorts of audiences, from students of all ages to world leaders and celebrities. In recent years, they have sung to President Barack Obama, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the United Nations. The Yale Alley Cats have also had the privilege of traveling to all corners of the globe. This past year they toured to Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and Italy, as well as members’ hometowns in Boca Raton, Florida, and Washington, D.C.

Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, November 17th, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library.
Qigong is a form of meditation in motion that is at least 2,000 years old. It is a very calming routine used to increase mindfulness, and it is also used for building strength, balance, flexibility, and resiliency. The practice of qigong can be done standing or sitting and can be practiced by almost anyone young or old.
Donna has been practicing Chinese medicine since 1996 when she graduated from Chinese medical school in New York City and became a licensed acupuncturist in New York and Connecticut. Qigong and tai chi were her first introduction to Chinese medicine and energy exercises in 1980 in New York City, years before she studied Chinese medicine. Donna has studied with a variety of teachers, including Robert Peng and Daisy Lee, and began teaching qigong in Greenwich in 2017. She has taught classes locally since then, as well as online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
