"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.
