 The Yale Glee Club, founded in 1861, is Yale's oldest musical organization and premier undergraduate mixed chorus.  Today, the Glee Club is a chorus of eighty women and me -- majors in music or mathematics, biology or philosophy, political science or art-- drawn together by a love of singing and an understanding that raising your voice with others to create something beautiful is one of the noblest human pursuits.  One of the most traveled collegiate choruses; the Glee Club has appeared on six continents and in most of the major concert halls in the United States.  The ensemble collaborates regularly with internationally renowned guest conductors and presents frequent premieres of new music. 

Under the direction of Yale School of Music professor Jeffery Douma, this year's tour program features works by Guerrero, Grieg, Rachmaninoff, Pärt, and a new piece composed for the Glee Club by eminent American composer Ned Rorem, as well as arrangement of folk songs, spirituals, and traditional college songs.
