The WPI Men's Glee Club is the oldest student organization on campus. Its repertoire ranges from the works of Mozart, Stravinsky and Schubert to the light and modern music of today. During the school year, the Glee Club sings with the choruses of many women's colleges, such as Regis, Smith, Wellesley, Wells, and Wheaton; it has performed at the Convention of the American Choral Directors in Boston. The group usually travels on an extended tour every other year; tours have included San Francisco, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain. In 1994 the Glee Club and the Regis College chorus went to Italy. In 1996, the group was scheduled to tour England and Ireland with the Wells College chorus, but due to unforseen circumstances the tour was postponed. To date, five Glee Club recordings have been released, including music commissioned specifically for the group.
A student run sub-set of the WPI Men's Glee Club is Simple Harmonic Motion.
