The Fairfield University Glee Club, under the direction of Dr. Carole Ann Maxwell, conductor, and Beth Palmer, accompanist, is the largest and oldest club on Fairfield’s campus.
Founded in 1947 under the direction of Fr. John Murray, S.J. and musical director Simon Harak, the Glee Club became the first student organization formed by the first ever incoming class of Fairfield University.
Today, the mixed chorus of about 70 students, has performed in churches, schools, and concert halls throughout Europe, singing from Galway to Rome and Florence to London. The choir has performed at Carnegie Hall, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., Westminster Cathedral in London, the Aula Paolo VI at the Vatican, and the U.S. military academies at West Point and Annapolis.
The Glee Club performs a varied repertoire of early, classical, and contemporary music in numerous engagements with other choruses, and with festival and symphonic Orchestras.
The mixed chorus is the parent organization of three additional ensembles: the Chamber Singers; the Men’s Ensemble, now known as the Bensonians, and the Women’s Ensemble, known as Sweet Harmony.
