"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
Founded in 1858, the Harvard Glee Club is the oldest college choir in America, and is considered by many to be the premier collegiate men's chorus in the country. We are a close-knit group of Harvard undergraduate and graduate students bound together by friendship, a shared love of music, and a passion for singing for diverse audiences at Harvard, across the United States, and around the world.
In addition to the main chorus, the Glee Club features a smaller subset ensemble, HGC Lite, which performs lighter a cappella works.

The Harvard Glee Club sings a range of repertoire spanning the centuries
