In 1980, two Harvard-Radcliffe students, Simin Yazdgerdi and Suzanne Goldsmith, transformed a loosely organized singing group known as the Harvard Squares into Harvard’s first full-fledged mixed a cappella ensemble, The Harvard Opportunes.

Over the years, the Opportunes have won widespread acclaim for our intricate harmonies and bold stage presence. Though we are all seasoned musicians, our interests span Harvard's vast curriculum and we participate in countless clubs, athletics, publications, service programs, and other performance groups.

As Harvard's oldest all-gender a cappella group, the Opportunes strive not only to produce consistently high-quality live and recorded music, but also to engage our dedicated network of supporters—including family, friends, fans, and alumni—and do business in a way that reflects our group's mission to build a sustainable organization.

You can find us on Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and SoundCloud. And if you live in the Boston area, be sure to buy tickets for our Fall Jam!
