History
The Mosaic Whispers was founded in 1991 by P. Daniel Newman, Jason Coryell, Brian Stephenson, Liz Radford, Josh Einsohn, Devorah Rosner, and Lora Norback. The founding members first sang together at Washington University's spring Thurtene Carnival - the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the United States. Auditions began that fall.
In the fall of 2004 and 2008, the Mosaic Whispers performed on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews while he was on Washington University's campus for the presidential and vice presidential debates, respectively. The Whispers have also sung on local radio station 93.7 The Bull[1] and Saint Louis' Fox 2 [2].
