The Radcliffe Pitches are Harvard’s oldest female a cappella singing group, founded in 1975 at the historic Hasty Pudding Club. Our group is made up of 12 to 14 undergraduate women who love to sing. Together, we perform a repertoire inspired by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.

The Pitches are thrilled to be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of their group. Please join us on March 28th, 2015 for our 40th anniversary concert! For more details and information about reunion events, please visit the 40th Anniversary page of our website.

From cocktail parties to large concert halls, our classic style, swinging arrangements and innovative choreography have entertained young and distinguished audiences alike. If you are interested in having the Radcliffe Pitches perform for you, or if you would like to receive a publicity kit, please contact our president at radcliffe.pitches@gmail.com.

What a week! The Pitches are back on campus after enjoying their annual spring break tour of the beautiful island of Bermuda. After spending days soaking up the sun, relaxing on the famous pink sand beaches, eating delicious food, and supporting local charities, it’s no surprise that we can’t wait for next year! Of course, this trip wouldn’t be possible without the help of our generous host families throughout the island. If you call Bermuda home and would be interested in hosting a Pitch next year, please let us know!
