-The Harvard Krokodiloes & Shiba Park Hotel-

Following the resounding success of last year’s event, Shiba Park Hotel is delighted to once again host The Harvard Krokodiloes, Harvard University’s acclaimed a cappella group, for a special performance. Dressed in their signature tuxedos, these twelve gifted undergraduate singers will weave their captivating harmonies into the fabric of the hotel’s sophisticated ambiance, offering an intimate mini-concert that blends tradition and artistry.

This year, the event carries an even deeper significance. While admission remains free and exclusive to our in-house guests, attendees will have the opportunity to support Room to Read, a certified nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing foundational literacy and life skills in children in underserved communities worldwide. Details regarding donation opportunities will be shared at a later date.

This unique experience is more than an evening of music—it is a celebration of tradition, creativity, and the generous spirit of our guests. Let the harmonious voices of The Harvard Krokodiloes create unforgettable moments while helping bring the joy of reading to children across the globe.

Join us for an exclusive evening where music inspires, tradition thrives, and generosity makes a difference.
