The Men’s Glee Club begins celebrates 150 years of Fall concerts with an all-American program of new and diverse music. Founded in 1859, the Club continues to take pride in performing music of diverse styles, traditions, and time periods, and has championed the works of living composers. This concert includes contemporary music in the classical, folk, popular, and gospel styles.
 
The concert features the world premiere performance of a work by Pulitzer- and Grammy-award winning composer William Bolcom, a five-movement set highlighting the poetry of University of Michigan students. The Club will also perform A stopwatch and an ordnance map by Samuel Barber, little man by Kirstina Rasmussen, Everyone Sang by Joel Martinson, The Morning Trumpet arranged by Mack Wilberg, Lowlands and Let the Bullgine Run arranged by Alice Parker, People Get Ready by Curtis Mayfield, and Wonderful Is Your Name by Hezekiah Walker. As always, the concert also includes the a cappella antics of The Friars and concludes with rousing Michigan songs.
 
Special guests on this concert are the men of the Southfield-Lathrup High School Madrigal Singers, Jeffrey Martin, conductor, who appear with the Men’s Glee Club as part of the inaugural Men’s Glee Club Adopt-A-Choir program for mentoring and outreach.
