The OU School of Music will hold a virtual concert featuring the Womenâs Chorus and the Menâs Glee Club April 17.Â
The concert, conducted by Associate Director of Choral Activities David Howard, will feature two pieces â âChichester Psalmsâ by Leonard Bernstein and âRejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30â by Benjamin Britten.Â
Howard said students are enjoying preparing each piece.Â
â[The pieces] are fun, and they re beautiful,â Howard said. âOne of the pieces is by Leonard Bernstein, who wrote Westside Story, so there s a lot of West Side Story flavor in that music. The other piece sets a poem by an 18th century poet who was brilliant, but also a little bit manic. The composers captured it very well, and it s very youthful and rhythmic.â

The University of Pennsylvania Glee Club and the Penn Sirens have decided to merge their choral groups, meaning that for the first time since its founding 159 years ago the Glee Club will include singers of all genders and will perform repertoire for soprano and alto voices, in addition to tenor and bass, and for all four voice parts.
In the final step in a yearslong process to make the Glee Club fully gender-inclusive, currently active members voted unanimously Friday afternoon to approve an amendment to the Club’s constitution and by-laws to allow singers of all genders and all voice parts.
