About Men's Glee Club
Truth. Integrity. Brotherhood. These are the core values that comprise Wheaton College’s only tenor-bass choral ensemble, the Men's Glee Club.
Known for its tradition, The Men’s Glee Club (MGC), now directed by Dr. Annika Stucky, continues to involve men in life-changing experiences. Founded in 1907, the group is comprised of around 60 men who hail from many different areas of study and many different parts of the world. Over the past 100+ years, this brotherhood has developed a rich cultural heritage including a custom of members referring to each other as "Old Man". Old and new members can stay in touch through the Old Man Association (OMA).
Men’s Glee Club is excited to announce their tour to France in May 2027!
