The Pitches of 2026
Emily Chan, President
Class of 2026 • Leverett House • Neuroscience • Alto I
Emily is a senior from Mountain View, CA and is thrilled to dive into her fourth year with the Pitches! Outside of a cappella, you can find her studying larval zebrafish in lab, kicking around with the Club Soccer team, helping out at a PAF study break, or (most likely) biking around the Charles River whilst lipsyncing to Lizzy McAlpine. The key to her heart? A strawberry matcha latte, a curated playlist, and a gorgeous sunset.
Annabelle Brooks, Music Director
Class of 2027 • Mather House • Psychology and Biology • Soprano II
Annabelle is a junior from Portland, Maine. A classical and jazz pianist, she has always loved music and also enjoys playing the trumpet, drums, and guitar. Fascinated by all creatures great and small, she has a tiny zoo of pets back home including a few elderly water frogs, a gecko, and a mellow ball python snake named Steve. When she isn’t singing or playing an instrument, you can find her tucked into a comfy study spot, going for a run along the Charles, or planning the acquisition of a tasty snack.
Andreea Haidau, Business Manager
Class of 2026 • Mather House • Applied Mathematics and Cognitive Science • Alto II
Andreea is a junior from the Chicago area. At any given moment, she may find her: literally singing in the rain, having a spontaneous dance party with her roommates, burning her tongue on too-hot tea but drinking it anyway, or staying up all night for no good reason.
Grace Bida, Tour Manager
Class of 2026 • Mather House • Art, Film and Visual Studies (AFVS) and Education • Alto II
Grace is a senior from Wellesley, MA, and went to her first Pitches concert when she was three years old. Having been to many since, she is thrilled be part of the group, and excited to be tour manager this year! Grace is passionate about bringing empathy and equity to education and learning. When she is not rehearsing or studying, you can find her exploring the city with her film camera!
Dhriti Vadlakonda, Tour Manager
Class of 2026 • Currier House • Engineering Sciences • Alto I
Dhriti is a senior in Currier House studying engineering sciences. She is from Clarksville, Maryland. Outside of the Pitches, Dhriti is the business manager for Harvard Model UN, dances with Harvard Ghungroo, and does patient outcomes research at MGH! In her free time, you can find Dhriti laughing the night away with her roomies, on the way to/back from Ten One Tea House, out shopping in Boston, and binge-watching Bollywood movies on Netflix.
Chloe Chao, Co-Stage Manager
Class of 2027 • Mather House • Integrative Biology • Alto II
Chloe is a junior from Weston, MA and is so excited to be singing with the Pitches this year! She loves painting, picnics, Costco (especially the free samples), thrifting clothes, and picking up hobbies that she doesn’t have the time for. Outside of a cappella, she can be found doing theater, frantically finishing her p-sets, munching at brain break, and singing in the shower!
Grace Hawkins, Co-Stage Manager
Class of 2028 • Leverett House • History and Literature • Soprano I
Grace is a sophomore hailing from McLean, Virginia and she is beyond excited to join this incredibly talented community of performers! You can find her sampling every variety of tea available in the dining hall or “studying” at brain break with her friends.
Ariana Okoth
Class of 2028 • Winthrop House • Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology • Alto I
Ariana is a sophomore from Peekskill, NY - proudly from Westchester (and for the record, no, that's not upstate). She couldn't be more excited for her first season with the group. Outside of rehearsal, you can find her leading the Lifestyle Medicine Interest Group, mentoring high school girls through the Alberta V. Scott Academy (ABHW), serving as a Christian SoulFood member, or engaging in thoughtful dialogue as a Harvard Intercollegiate Civil Disagreement Partnership Fellow. The quickest way to make her smile? Good conversation over chai and biking along the Charles.
Christina Yum
Class of 2029 • Canaday Hall • Alto II
Christina is a freshman from College Station, Texas and very excited to enter her first year with the Pitches! Having grown up surrounded by classical music, she began studying violin and piano from an early age and continued to grow her love of music through singing. When she’s not busy with her obligations (or running away from them), she loves spending time with her friends in the city doing any unconventional activity they can cook up.
Heidi Alhannat
Class of 2027 • Adams House • Integrative Biology • Soprano II
Heidi is a junior from Los Angeles, CA who never stops singing. When she’s not at rehearsal, she can be spotted planning Adams House events, being a snob about lattes, and taking the T to a new restaurant or park. She loves gardening, cooking, learning about plants in her area, and speed typing (ask her for her MonkeyType profile)!
Isabella Gidi
Class of 2027 • Mather House • Applied Mathematics • Soprano I
Bella is a junior from Houston, Texas studying Applied Math on the Computer Science Track with a minor in Mind, Brain, and Behavior. She loves breaking out into song and dance spontaneously, so Pitches rehearsal always leaves her in a great mood! :)
Jenny Min
Class of 2029 • Canaday Hall • Soprano II
Jenny is a first-year from Ellicott City, Maryland and is thrilled to kick off her first year of college with the Pitches. As one of the new assistant tour managers, she is excited to work and explore the behind-the-scenes of tour planning. When she isn’t singing away as a Pitch, she is studying at all the different cafes around campus, going on walks around the river, trying new dessert shops with her friends, and reading a cheesy romance book.
Karly Chan
Class of 2026 • Mather House • Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology • Soprano I
Karly is a senior from Great Neck, New York. She REAALLLYYY loves pizza.
