150 years of singing
With a history extending
hack to 1859, the Men's Glee
lob is the oldest continually
run student organization at
the University.
"at formed mainly at first
not necessarily as a singing
group but as more of a social
group," Glee Club President
Drew Smith said. "But at the
same time, singing was a big
part of it."
Smith said the club was ini-
tially a loose arrangement of
both vocals and instrumen-
tals but eventually evolved
into a more structured cho-
rus. Now it stands alongside
Harvard's Glee Club as one
of the most prestigios of its
type in the United States.
The club is comprised of
four vocal sections and cur-
rently has 103 members. The
group performs repertoires
chosen by Director Paul Ear-
din, who is also an associ-
ate professor in the School
of Music, Theatre '& Dance,
with music selections vary-
ing from folk songs to Latin
Renaissance pieces.
The club rehearses twice a
week and performs every fall
and spring at Mill Auditorium.
In addition, it tours the state
of Michigan and the Midwest
twice a year and internation-
ally every four years.
"We've been to every con-
tinent except for Africa on
our tours," Smith said. "So
we're pretty well traveled as
a group."
For its 150th anniversary,
the club plans to celebrate by
premiering a piece commis-
sioned from former faculty
member William Bolcom. The
group plans to invite Glee
Club alumni to a celebration
weekend in the spring.
Maintaining connections
with alumni is an important
part of the Glee Club.
"One thing that's great
about the Glee Club is that
you get such a strong alumni
base. We'll talk to people
from 20, 30 years ago," said
Joe Wieciek, the assistant
alumni relations manager
and co-150th anniversary
coordinator.
Wieciek also said the group
is trying to create an alumni
tour group to further main-
tain the alumni bond.
As part of its 150th celebra-
lion, the Glee Club is set to
perform Nov. 21 at Hill Audi-
torium featuring an Ameni-
can-themed repertoire.
