Harvard's distinguished undergraduate mixed chorus, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium
Musicum, was founded in the fall of 1971. Initially conceived as a
chamber ensemble from the Harvard
Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral
Society, the Collegium grew to its present size of sixty voices.
Under the direction of Jameson Marvin
since 1978, the Collegium has achieved special recognition for the performance
of music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Each year the Collegium performs symphonic choral works and a cappella
masterpieces from a repertoire
spanning the 15th to the 20th centuries. Seven international tours
spanning Europe, the Mediterranean, and North America have garnered the group
critical acclaim, and this academic year, the
Collegium will perform Händel's Dixit Dominus and various works by Monteverdi,
Brahms, Dufay, and Schütz; It continues its tradition of excellence under
the direction of Dr. Marvin and assistant conductor Michael McGaghie.
