"Fun at Parties" (2024)

The latest Whiffenpoof studio album, released in May by the Whiffenpoofs of 2024, Fun at Parties pairs new arrangements with enduring Whiff classics. A standout is Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like a Rock," newly arranged by Ethan Kopf '24 — a spirited entry that captures the group's signature blend of polish, whimsy, and tradition.
