		Harvard Glee Club
		Joseph C. Johnson, Manager; David A. Boyajian, President	hgc@hcs.harvard.edu
		The sixty-voice Harvard Glee Club is Harvard's traditional male chorus and the oldest college chorus in America. For many years after its founding in 1858, it served principally as a social club on campus, and performed college songs and glees to the accompaniment of banjos and mandolins. It was not until 1912, under the dynamic leadership of its new conductor, Dr. Archibald T. Davison, that the Glee Club began to develop a repertoire of distinction and to earn a national reputation. Through Davison's musical leadership and that of his successors, G. Wallace Woodworth, Elliot Forbes, and F. John Adams, the Glee Club continued to build upon its remarkable choral tradition. Since 1921, when the Harvard Glee Club became the first American college chorus to tour Europe, the group has traveled extensively, including summer tours of North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia, and 79 annual spring tours within North America. The Glee Club has sung in the Vatican under almunus Leonard Bernstein, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Mstislav Rostropovitch, and with the Boston Symphony Orchestra numerous times, including the American premiere of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex. In addition, the Glee Club was awarded a Grand Prix Du Disc for its recording of Berlioz's Damnation of Faust. Under conductor Jameson Marvin since 1978, the Harvard Glee Club continues to develop its prestigious reputation. In the last twenty years, the Glee Club has been invited to perform at five National Conventions of the American Choral Directors' Association. Recent highlights include: appearances with Erich Leinsdorf and Marilyn Horne in the Lincoln Center, Boston's Symphony Hall, and the Kennedy Center; numerous recordings; commissions of works by Harbison, Takemitsu, V. Thomson and Schickele; a Lincoln Center memorial concert for Aaron Copland under Lukas Foss; and critically acclaimed performances of major works for male chorus such as Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex,Schoenberg's Survivor from Warsaw, Brahms' Alto Rhapsodie, Weill's Berliner Requiem, and Argento's Revelation of Saint John the Divine. The year 1998 marked the 140th anniversary of the Harvard Glee Club, which was celebrated by a spring concert tour of Utah and California, and a summer tour of Australia and the Pacific Northwest. We invite all graduate and undergraduate men who have an interest in singing with one of the world's finest men's choirs to audition at one of the following times: Sept. 15, 16 (W,Th) 1-4pm; Sept. 17, 19 (F,Su) 1-5pm; Sept. 20 (M) 12-5pm, 7-10pm.
