For nearly a century and a half, the Yale Glee Club has represented the best in collegiate singing-from its earliest days as a group of thirteen men from the class of 1863 to its current incarnation as an eighty-voice chorus of men and women.

The students who sing in the Yale Glee Club might be majors in music or engineering, English or philosophy, art or mathematics. They are drawn together by a love of singing and a common understanding that raising one's voice with others to create something beautiful is one of the noblest human pursuits.

Since the days of Marshall Bartholomew, the Yale Glee Club has been recognized throughout the world for its new contributions to the repertoire for choir.


Today, we keep this tradition alive by sponsoring our annual Emerging Composers Competition and Fenno Heath Award for the composition of new Yale songs, presenting frequent premieres of new music, and through the Yale Glee Club New Classics Choral Series, a source for exciting new music for SATB choir.

We sing a broad spectrum of choral music from the 16th century to the present, including Renaissance motets, contemporary choral works, world folk music, traditional Yale songs, and the great masterworks of the choral-orchestral repertoire.

Alumni of the Glee Club remain active members of our community of song through annual Singing Dinners, regional choral festivals, reunions, and other activities sponsored by or affiliated with the Yale Glee Club Associates, the Glee Club's own alumni organization. Plans are already underway for the celebration of our 150th anniversary in 2011. 

Many of our alumni also sing in the Yale Alumni Chorus, currently celebrating its 10th year.

The Yale Glee Club is one of the most traveled collegiate choruses in the country, and international choral exchange, both on campus and on tour, is an integral part of our mission.

The 2008-2009 the Glee Club traveled to the Pacific Northwest and South America.

 

Tours in the current academic year will take us from Philadelphia to Florida to the Dominican Republic.
