Nearly two decades have passed since the Men’s Glee Club has traversed the Atlantic to sing amidst the splendor of the United Kingdom. Now, in a time of global political unrest, this tour offers the opportunity for the University of Michigan and the United States to send ambassadors of song to promote good will. With seven concerts planned at prominent venues such as St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London and Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, the Glee Club seeks to not only entertain, but also to provide insight into the lives of Michigan Men for our neighbors across the pond. The sixty-five Clubbers embarking on this Tour will be profoundly affected by singing in such renowned venues and by touring abroad in general. Exposure to cultural differences will broaden their perspective on life, while the joint concert with the Flint Male Voice Choir will provide a unique opportunity for camaraderie. Also, with the increasing prominence of the European Union as it expands in 2004, Clubbers will be witnesses to burgeoning political and economic changes that will have global ramifications. This once-in-a-lifetime journey will be driven by song and colored by personal interactions. Support from our alumni and friends is crucial to the Glee Club each year, but especially so during a year featuring an international tour. Your support this year is especially needed and is vital to the tour’s success. A gift of any size can make the difference for Clubbers facing rising tuition, increased housing expenses, and the general increasing costs of living in Ann Arbor. With your help, the Clubbers’ journey across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will be an unforgettable experience!
