The Harvard Glee Club presents Thomas Lloyd’s Bonhoeffer, a choral theater work on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the 20th Century theologian who returned to Germany from the United States to resist the capitulation of the Lutheran and Catholic churches to Adolf Hitler. Through music and dramatic storytelling, the work traces Bonhoeffer’s theological convictions, moral courage, and ultimate witness against fascism.

A pre-concert panel at 7:00pm, featuring composer Thomas Lloyd, Jennifer McBride of the International Bonhoeffer Society, and Harvard Divinity School faculty members Mac Loftin and Dudley Rose, will explore Bonhoeffer’s theological legacy, his resistance to fascism, and the enduring relevance of his witness today, offering rich context for the performance to follow.

A beloved tradition returns as the Harvard Glee Club welcomes the Princeton Glee Club to Sanders Theatre for their annual joint concert, part of Harvard College’s Family Weekend festivities. This collaboration, dating back over a century, celebrates the enduring bonds of choral music and collegiate camaraderie.

The evening will feature spirited renditions of school songs and fight songs alongside a rich and diverse program of works spanning cultures, eras, and traditions. Under the direction of Michael McCormick, the Princeton Glee Club—Princeton’s oldest and largest choir—is known for its excellent performances of virtuosic choral works spanning centuries of repertoire, from Renaissance motets to newly commissioned music.

The Harvard Glee Club, conducted by Dr. Andrew Clark, is the oldest collegiate choir in the United States. Since its founding in 1858, the ensemble has championed the art of tenor-bass choral singing through performances that balance beloved traditions with bold new directions, including commissions, premieres, and collaborations across Harvard and beyond.

With both ensembles steeped in history yet constantly evolving, this joint concert promises a vibrant celebration of music, fellowship, and tradition—an event not to be missed.

Deadline to Order Tickets is April 13th!

Come unwind and admire the beauty of the museum, while also enjoying music from genres like classical, renaissance, and even traditional Georgian music. Plus some tunes from our world-class acapella subset, Glee Club Lite!

At the height of Family Weekend, be sure to bring your family along to hear us perform in a space we haven’t performed in YEARS: the main floor of the Art Museum, where music will reverberate throughout the Italian Renaissance-style atrium, creating a wondrous sense of awe. (In some songs we even have some singers perform across different…floors? You’ll have to come to see what we mean by that!)

This is an afternoon your family won’t want to miss, so be sure to stop on by!
