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. |
