About the Women's Glee Club
The Ohio State University Women's Glee Club, founded in 1903, is a treble-voice chorus for women and non-binary individuals that performs a wide variety of music, with a special focus on works by women and BIPOC composers. Representing a diverse array of majors and interests, our singers range from first-year through graduate students, all united by a shared passion for music. We bring joyful, evocative, skillful performances to both on- and off-campus venues, including fan-favorite tunes at tailgating events before home football games (Go Bucks!). We connect with our community through performance and service, often partnering with local Columbus organizations. Joining WGC means becoming part of a dedicated community committed to excellence in musicianship, artistry, and community building.
