The Penn State Glee Club performed the world premiere of 'Everyone Burst Out Singing,' the U.S. premiere of 'Ancient Forests Once Stood Here' and a rousing chorus from Gilbert and Sullivan among other selections at its fall concert Saturday, Nov. 5, in Schwab Auditorium on Penn State's University Park campus. The group is one of three that will perform during the Penn State President's Concert, scheduled for Feb. 28 in Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh.

Hello from Queenstown, New Zealand! Our apologies for the gap in blog postings. The Internet is difficult to come by these days. Today is our last day here as we get ready to move on to Greymouth. It's been a very exciting place to visit. Before we left Christchurch on Friday, we had the opportunity to be featured on New Zealand's most watched morning news program (equivalent to the Today Show). (more)

Over spring break, the Penn State Glee Club went on a tour, singing at various locations. The first stop on the tour was Smith College in Northhampton, Mass. Smith, an all-women's college, performed a concert featuring Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem with the Glee Club on Saturday night. Another stop on the tour was the Evangelical Congregational Church of Westborough, Mass, where, the Hi-Los, a small ensemble taken from within the Glee Club, also performed. One tradition of the annual tour is traveling to area schools and performing clinics for them, and this tour held to the tradition, performing at Stoughton High School in Stoughton, Mass. The final stop on the tour was to the MENC Eastern Division Conference in Providence, R.I. For photos by Glee Club member Dan Landers-Nolan, visit http://live.psu.edu/stilllife/1993 online. (more)
