The Harvard Choruses aspires to empower singers, student leaders, and communities by sustaining and advancing choral music education and practice.
|
Together we value continuous and ongoing growth for our singers and the choruses at large: as students, through leadership and creativity; as musicians, through dedication to art-making; and as citizens, through community engagement. We seek to embody these values through the student-run nature of our ensembles and our exploration and expansion of choral traditions.

Harvard Glee Club
The Harvard Glee Club is America's oldest collegiate glee club, today standing 50 voices strong. The group seeks to further the tradition of tenor-bass choral music, to improve ourselves and our community through the love and performance of music, and to foster our four cardinal virtues: glee, good humor, unity, and joy. |
Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum
Spanning five octaves and seven centuries of choral music, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum is a mixed chorus of 50 voices. The group is dedicated to performing a wide variety of repertoire with a focus on both a cappella and choral orchestral music. |
Radcliffe Choral Society
The Radcliffe Choral Society, a 50-voice treble chorus, performs a distinctive repertoire spanning nine centuries. By fostering the appreciation of treble choral music, the ensemble strives to honor its history and celebrate the extraordinary community formed through its music-making. |

Harvard Summer Chorus
The Harvard Summer Chorus is a unique blend of all ages, backgrounds, and histories. As a program sponsored by the Harvard Summer School, the Summer Chorus welcomes the high school students who take part in the program, as well as collegiate singers and adult community members from all over the world. |
'Cliffe Notes
The ‘Cliffe Notes are the contemporary a cappella subset of the Radcliffe Choral Society. Performing mostly contemporary music along with the occasional 90's throwback, ‘Cliffe Notes is featured during RCS performances. In addition, 'Cliffe Notes can be heard at private parties, caroling, parades, benefits, and other events. |
Glee Club Lite
Glee Club Lite is the a cappella subset of the Harvard Glee Club. The purpose of Lite is twofold: first, to provide its members with an opportunity to sing rock, pop, jazz, and folk music while still maintaining the ability to sing classic choral literature with a large chorus; second, to bring entertainment to audiences worldwide with its signature blend of music and comedy. |
Underground
Underground is the a cappella subset of Collegium, singing a fun, eclectic mix ranging from jazz standards and oldies to the best songs currently on the radio. Looking to branch out from Collegium’s typical repertoire, Underground is a unique opportunity for singers with dual interests in choral and contemporary a cappella music to experience both. |
