Melodies So Sweet
Before the hit television series "Glee," there was the Yale Glee Club, an institution founded in 1861. More than 150 years later, the coed collegiate ensemble boasts 80 members and repertoire that spans five centuries, traveling from Renaissance motets to contemporary choral pieces. Led by conductor Jeffrey Douma, undergraduate vocalists deliver performances the Washington Post lauds as "otherworldly, transcendent even." In a rare visit to Vermont, the group presents works by Johannes Brahms, Tomás Luis de Victoria and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon alongside folk songs and spirituals.
