Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum Concert
May 31 @ 8:30 pm
As a fundraiser for Full Circle Preschool, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, Harvard’s nationally acclaimed mixed-voice choir, will perform a dynamic and innovative repertoire ranging from classical masterpieces to new compositions.
The Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, founded in 1971, is Harvard’s premier mixed-voice choir. Known for musical excellence and adventurous programming, Collegium performs a diverse repertoire—from choral masterworks and historical pieces to folk music, student commissions, and contemporary compositions. Under the direction of Dr. Andrew G. Clark and Dr. Hana J. Cai, the group has earned national acclaim for its “thrilling and deeply moving” sound (Boston Musical Intelligencer) and tours across the Northeast and internationally.
The student-run ensemble of 40 undergraduates represents a wide range of academic disciplines and is united by a shared passion for choral music and community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Collegium is governed and financially managed by its student members, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum Foundation, and generous donors who support its mission to advance the choral arts.
