The Wellesley Widows are a thirteen-voice a cappella singing group. We have just celebrated our 60th anniversary, making us one of the nation's oldest women's collegiate a cappella singing ensembles. Originally known as the Wellesley College Octet, the Widows have a wide repertoire, specializing in popular music from the 1930s to the present, including modern songs by Lady Gaga, TLC, and No Doubt. We are proud to carry on a tradition of fine musical entertainment to audiences all over the United States as: The Wellesley Widows - Dressed to Kill since 1949.
The Widows are headed back to school and would like to welcome YOU to the web!
