St. Mary's School is proud to host the Notre Dame Glee Club who will be performing on Wednesday, October 17 at 7:30 PM in Bishop Ireton's Garwood Whaley Auditorium.
Recognized as one of the "finest all male collegiate choral groups in the country," the University of Notre Dame Glee Club has a rich history of singing and brotherhood spanning the last 97 years. Drawing on a wide repertoire of music from ancient polyphony to modern pieces, they entertain around the country and the world every year. The concert is free and open to the public, however, donations will be appreciated.
Host families are also needed to house Glee Club members the evening of the concert. If interested, please contact Tom Newell '87 (tom.newell@comcast.net; 571.201.4779).
