Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum
Since 1971, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum has served as a joyful and vibrant community on Harvard’s campus, uniting students of all voices and backgrounds by their love for the manifold rewards of exceptional choral singing. As a celebrated mixed-voice choir, an accredited course at the college, and a student-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Collegium studies, develops and performs works from the fifteenth-century to the present both on campus and across the globe. Most recently, the choir has been renewing the centuries-old traditions of choral masterworks such as Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Mass in B Minor, and Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, while also adventuring into the newest most powerful choral events of the twenty-first century, such as Tigran Mansurian’s Requiem and Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard. Critics have hailed some of these recent performances as “richly moving”, and “coolly beautiful” with an “ideal balance of transparency and warmth” (Boston Globe; Boston Musical Intelligence; Boston Classical Review). In the summer of 2019, the choir’s experiences will culminate in an international tour to South Africa.
