History

The Radcliffe Choral Society was founded in 1899 by the first President of Radcliffe College, Elizabeth Cary Agassiz, and is one of the oldest women’s collegiate choirs in the nation. President Agassiz called upon Marie Reuter Gallison, the first conductor of the Choral Society, to establish RCS in order to “give the chance to join in singing with others to every Radcliffe student who wished to do so.” Read more →

Audition

RCS, as part of the Holden Choruses, has two waves of auditions. The first wave is open to anyone interested in auditioning for any of the Holden Choruses. One audition auditions you for all the groups in the Holden choruses. The second wave of auditions will be held the following weekend and is comprised of singing a short piece (that we teach you) on your part with three returning members of the choir.

An Introduction

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.
