"To have sung this music with a virtuoso orchestra and in youth must be one of the decisive events in a lifetime. A man would be one person before it; he would be another ever afterward. For no one need tell him that a world of the creative spirit exists. He has lived in it. He knows."
--Lucien Price, Amphion's Lyre


About Us

Founded in 1858, the Harvard Glee Club is the oldest college choir in America, considered by many to be the premier collegiate men's chorus of the country. This year we are celebrating our 150th anniversary with a huge-scale spring and summer tour of the American east and west coasts, culminating in a performance at the Ravinia festival in Chicago. Harvard Glee Club also features a smaller subset ensemble, HGC Lite, which performs lighter a cappella works.

On the night of April 11, 2008 at 8 PM, the Harvard Glee Club will be performing in Sanders Theatre in celebration of its 150th Anniversary. First, the Glee Club will combine with the Radcliffe Choral Society, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, and a professional orchestra of the highest caliber to bring you Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms which the Glee Club and Choral Society premiered with the Boston Symphony Orchestra on December 19, 1930 under Serge Koussevitsky. After the intermission the Glee Club will sing the repertoire that has made them famous the world over. The folk-songs, renaissance polyphony, and other gems of the Glee Club repertoire will be complemented by the world premiere of Dominick Argento's Apollo in Cambridge, a setting of three texts by Harvard poets: Longfellow, Holmes, and Lowell. This work was commissioned by the Harvard Glee Club Foundation for the Glee Club in honor of its Sesquicentennial. Following the concert will be a reception to celebrate the Glee Club's 150th Birthday. Tickets are available at the Harvard Box Office online or by calling (617) 496-2222.
