The Harvard Opportunes

The Harvard Opportunes is Harvard's oldest co-ed student A'Capella group. In 1980, two Harvard-Radcliffe students, Simin Yazdgerdi and Suzanne Goldsmith, transformed a loosely organized co-ed singing group called the Harvard Squares into Harvard’s first full-fledged mixed a cappella ensemble. While the name has changed from Harvard-Radcliffe to Harvard, The Opportunes have had consistent intricate six-to-eight-part harmonies, black tie and black velvet dresses, and sense of humor. They have released an album about every two years since 1993 and have won a number of honors including the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America's award for "Best Mixed Collegiate Song" of 2000 for ""When We Were Kings." They signed with A'Capella Records in for their 2009 release, "Bring Me Back."
