"The majority of the singers in the choruses at Harvard and Radcliffe, where the heritage of choral singing is so rich, are headed for non-musical professions. So for them singing in the chorus is their ultimate musical expression. And the singing in this performance was characterized by exactly that kind of energy and utter involvement."
--The Boston Globe


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.
