Founded in 1885, the Smith College Glee Club performs music from a diverse repertoire, including major works for treble voices, jazz, contemporary, and folk music of the U.S. and from international traditions. They perform at various campus and community events throughout the year. Every spring, glee clubs from such universities as Harvard, Rutgers, Cornell, Michigan, and Virginia come to campus to collaborate on a major work.
A sub-set of the Glee Club, the internationally known Chamber Singers have performed widely since 1951.
Jonathan Hirsh is the director of orchestral and choral activities, and Sarah Paquet is the assistant director of choral activities.
