Founded in 1907 by Raymond Burke, the composer of Miami's Fight Song and Alma Mater, the Miami University Men's Glee Club has maintained a tradition of excellence throughout the years. The Club is among the oldest and largest groups of its kind in the nation.

In 1927, the Club made its first European tour, and since that time the Club has toured Europe on several occasions. In the Summer of 2001 the Glee Club traveled to Puerto Rico and Guadeloupe where they were the first American chorus to host the Karukoral, the annual choral festival of the French West Indies. The summer of 2003 marked the Club's first trip to Russia, Estonia and Finland. Each winter the men tour the United States, performing for churches, civic groups and schools in Ohio and other states.

As a major performing ensemble, the Glee Club has been called upon many times to perform with major symphony orchestras in the surrounding areas. Such performances have included working with Beverly Sills, Thomas Schippers, Martina Arroyo, Margaret Hillis, Robert Shaw, Max Rudolf, Paul Salamunovich and the Cincinnati, Dayton and Middletown Symphonies. Each year the Glee Club has taken part in an on-campus performance of a major choral/orchestral work.

Whether giving impromptu concerts, singing for local churches, serenading freshman women's dorms or presenting international concert tours, the Glee Club has always presented music of the highest quality. It has been a tradition for over 90 years, and will continue to be the standard by which the Glee Club operates. We welcome you to join in this tradition!
