The critically acclaimed and world famous Spizzwinks return to Central Florida to present a fun and exciting program. Recent Spizzwink performances include audiences at ESPN, Carnegie Hall, Disney World, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Severance Hall, and the White House. Maintaining a broad repertoire of exclusively original arrangements from the past 112 years – jazz standards, ballads, show tunes, pop and rock music, and humorous numbers – the Spizzwinks are sure to please. No Spizzwinks performance would be complete, however, without a generous dose of our choreography and unique brand of humor. It is this perfect blend of humor, musicality and showmanship that leaves audiences the world over begging for more. In recent years, their fan club has grown to include Senator John Kerry, Magic Johnson, Henry Kissinger, Kelsey Grammer, George Pataki, and Fred Savage. The Spizzwinks(?) are America and the world’s oldest underclassman a cappella group. In an age before iPods or reality TV, when the only way to hear singing without instruments was in the shower, the Spizzwinks showed the world that a bunch of college guys sporting sweet harmonies and a perplexing name was a winning combination. That’s right – they liked a cappella before it was cool. Don’t miss the returning Yale Spizzwinks in Concert!
