Holden Choirs
The Holden Choruses are three choral ensembles at Harvard University, consisting of the Harvard Glee Club, the Radcliffe Choral Society, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum (respectively a men's, a women's, and a mixed chorus.) Each year the three Holden Choirs combine to perform a large choral-orchestral work. When they do so, they are referred to as "The Holden Chorus."
The Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus is an adjunct member, consisting of both Harvard students and members of the broader community, and serving in part as a training chorus for the other groups.
The "Holden" name comes from the choirs' principal rehearsal space and former offices, Holden Chapel in Harvard Yard. Holden Chapel is one of the oldest college buildings in the country.
The Holden Choruses are under the direction of Harvard's Director of Choral Activities, Andrew Clark.
