A cappella group to present 'KatzenJam 2006,' April 8
Posted April 3, 2006; 03:25 p.m.
The Princeton Katzenjammers a cappella group will present "KatzenJam 2006" at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 8, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
The
Katzenjammers, founded in 1973, are the country's oldest coed
collegiate a cappella group, with a repertoire spanning from their
signature vocal jazz to pop to classical.
The group performs
regularly in arch sings around campus and has toured extensively
throughout the United States and abroad. Every four years, the
Katzenjammers bring a "jamboree" concert to the Richardson stage,
incorporating a wide variety of a cappella music from their domestic
and international tours.
"KatzenJam 2006" will feature
contributions from a student jazz trio and from the diSiac Dance
Company, which will perform a ballet piece accompanying the
Katzenjammers' rendition of "When I Fall in Love." The Katzenjammers
also will perform a composition, "Folk Tropes," by Paul Lansky, the
William Shubael Conant Professor of Music.
The Katzenjammers were founded by students who sought to establish a unique identity among existing single-sex a cappella groups. The group has produced several albums since its formation.
Tickets for "KatzenJam 2006" are $6 for students and senior citizens and $10 for others. They can be purchased online through University Ticketing or by calling the Richardson ticket office at (609) 258-5000.
