Radcliffe Choral Society

The Radcliffe Choral Society, founded in 1899, is one of the oldest and most preeminent collegiate women's choirs in the nation. Performing distinctive literature from the Renaissance to the present, this 60-voice choir tours each year across the country and internationally every four years, most recently to Western Europe, South America, South Africa, and Costa Rica. The 2011-2012 season features concerts with the Harvard Glee Club, Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, and Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, including performances of Mozart’s Requiem and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. RCS will also be taking a weekend trip to New York City in the spring, and in May will embark on a three week tour to Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Croatia.

RCS rehearses Mondays from 7pm to 9:45pm and Wednesdays from 4:30pm to 6:30pm.
