MUSIC 15 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

Founded in 1858, the Harvard Glee Club (a tenor-bass ensemble) performs music written in the male chorus tradition. HGC collaborates with arts groups on campus and across the world through national and international tours. Through excellence in performance, student-management, education, community, tradition, and service, the Glee Club offers a unique musical experience for all members.

The Harvard Glee Club sustains its core virtues of glee, good humor, unity, and joy, and sings timeless and timely choral works from a variety of eras and cultures. Enrichment opportunities in individualized vocal study, choral composition, advanced ear-training and sight singing, and choral repertoire may be explored optionally as students desire. Glee Club members will also design and implement community engagement projects guided by Harvard’s Mindich Program for Engaged Scholarship, including collaborations with the Ashmont Boy Choir in Dorchester.
