Wheaton College Men's Glee Club

Men's Glee Club 2026

Abut Men's Glee Club

Truth. Integrity. Brotherhood. These are the core values that comprise Wheaton’s only all-male 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).

Testimonials

“I don't think I could have made it without my four years in the Glee Club. Making incredible music with my brothers in Christ was a refuge I wouldn't have traded for anything.” - Daniel Fuglestad, Old Man ’14

“‘Rise up, O Men of God!' This anthem of the Men’s Glee Club summarizes its mission and focus for all who join. Not being a music major, I joined the choir my freshman year as an outlet to balance my academics. Yet what I found was a community that challenged and supported me throughout my four years at Wheaton. I will forever be thankful for the Glee Club as it was one of the most influential parts of my Wheaton experience.” - Connor DeYoung, Old Man ’16

“Glee Club was easily the most transformative and influential experience of my time at Wheaton. To be able to praise God through song surrounded by godly men—there’s nothing else like it.” - Ed Bedard, President Emeritus ’12
