Now available on DVD - RAISING VOICES-A Documentary Film. The Yale Glee Club has been blazing a musical trail for over one hundred and fifty years. From the earliest days on campus as a group of 6 ambitious classmates, to a choir of 70 mixed voices, the Yale Glee Club spreads a message of friendship and opportunity that speaks to people of all races, genders, and backgrounds as it moves through the decades and centuries. As America evolved so did the Glee Club. Founded just as the Civil War began, a young Yale Glee Club traveled the Northeast singing songs of the college experience. The American railroad opened up access to the south and west expanding the Glee Club's travels to the finest theaters of the country. As the club's musical repertoire expanded, the Yale Glee Club would begin singing across Europe. Through 2 World Wars, Nazi Germany, and behind the Iron Curtain the Yale Glee Club would learn of the power of music to bring people of different cultures together.

In 1941 the Glee Club would set sail for South America and inspire the creation of the first university choir in Argentina's history, forever changing the choral landscape of the country.

In the early 70's the greatest challenge to the Yale Glee Club would come from within as Yale University became co-educational. The Glee club would become a group comprised of both men and women, challenging its long standing traditions, it students, and alumni while creating opportunities to embrace the finest classical works. From the great theaters of the world, to the Ed Sullivan Show and into the favelas of Brazil, this is a story of a group of volunteer students and the seven inspiring directors who take a journey raising voices across America and around the world.
