Welcome!
You've reached the home of Yale's Society of Orpheus and Bacchus, the second-longest-running a cappella group in the nation*...
We’re a globe-trotting group that’s performed peace concerts in Korea’s DMZ, belted out solos at venues from the White House to the Pushkin Museum, and waded our way through the waters of the Costa Rican Atlantic and Grecian Mediterranean!
Wherever in the world you are, the SOBs are there too with tight-knit harmonies, a unique sense of humor, and over 85 years of experience in the realms of music and revelry. Join us as we dive into future adventures during this exciting 2025-2026 year, and May The Gods Be With You!
*only behind those pesky Whiffenpoofs… for this year, home to our dear Eunice Oh!
Our Music
As it turns out, this (very) fun-loving group of friends can also sing! The SOBs have a songbook spanning across periods, genres, artists, and styles. Folk, pop, gospel, rock, jazz — you name it, we’ve sung it at some point in our 85+ year history. Yes, even the Norwegian National Anthem (ask us about that one later). All of our music is arranged by members or alumni of the group. That means that exciting new compositions enter our repertoire all the time, taking their place alongside time-tested SOB classics. We love sharing our music with the world, both at concerts and on our albums. Stream our latest, greatest, and most up-to-datest, Look Up!, wherever you get your music - and get ready for our upcoming album next year!
