The Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, Harvard’s nationally acclaimed mixed-voice choir, performs dynamic and innovative repertoire ranging from classical masterpieces to new compositions by renowned, emerging, and student composers. Collegium has served as a joyful and vibrant community on Harvard’s campus since 1971, uniting students of all backgrounds and academic interests through their shared love of exceptional and meaningful choral singing. Uniquely situated as an accredited course at Harvard College and a student-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Collegium fosters a passionate community of student musicians through collaborative projects, tours, and community engagement.

Collegium studies, develops, and performs works from the fifteenth century to the present both on-campus and across the globe. Additionally, Collegium frequently partners with the other Harvard Choruses–the Harvard Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society–to perform large-scale choral-orchestral works. Though the sixty members of the ensemble span the full range of academic concentrations at Harvard, they are united by the joy of singing in community and the desire to sustain and advance the choral art through dynamic performances, adventurous collaborations, and thoughtful music-making.
