UNC Men's Glee Club

The UNC Men's Glee Club is the oldest continually existing choral organization on campus, with reports of performances dating back to at least 1892. The group has provided high quality choral music experience for literally thousands of alumni, many of whom serve or have served as professional musicians, teachers and conductors around the nation, and many more who have attained distinction in other fields outside of music.

The group has earned a reputation for distinguished performance of the best music for men's voices, and remains a popular musical choice for students today with a current membership of 34 men. Its repertoire is a widely-eclectic mixture of sacred and secular music in all styles and from all periods. The group is currently conducted by Daniel M. Huff.

The Men's Glee Club has been an integral part of campus life from its inception. Indeed, the poetry for the familiar "Hark the Sound", Carolina's well-known alma mater, was written by William Myers, a second tenor from the group, and was first performed by the Glee Club in 1897.
