Founded in 1868, the Cornell University Glee Club is the oldest running student-organization on Cornell's campus, and the seventh oldest collegiate glee club in the nation. The Glee Club of Cornell has become a home to thousands of young men who have traveled in all walks of life, from music and medicine, to agriculture and astronomy. The group has performed songs of Bernstein on Malaysian television and songs of Shostakovich in the Moscow conservatory, sung in more than a dozen languages and logged hundreds of thousands of miles, brought music to millions of people as near and far as the students of Cornell and rural school children in Taipei. Today, the Cornell University Glee Club is recognized as one of the premier collegiate ensembles in the United States.
