About Us
The Radcliffe Choral Society, founded in 1899, is one of the most preeminent collegiate women's choirs in the nation. Performing distinctive literature from the Renaissance to the present, this 65-voice choir tours each year across the country. In the summer of 2004, the Choral Society embarked on a 3 week concert tour of South Africa, and in 2006, the Society traveled to London for our spring concert tour. This coming year's season highlights include a joint concert with the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, our annual Christmas Concert with the Harvard Glee Club in Arlington, and a very exciting Festival of Women's Choruses in February! We'll be wrapping up the year with our spring break tour to Atlanta and Tennessee and a pan-Holden performance of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. We look forward to seeing you!

RCS rehearses Mondays from 7pm to 9:30pm and Wednesdays from 4:15pm to 6:30pm.
