On Jan. 9, the Men’s Glee Club performed in New York City with the University Glee Club of New York City at Lincoln Center in Alice Tully Hall. Directed by Robert Ward, associate professor in the School of Music, they sang selections from the best of men’s choral tradition, including a new arrangement of a “Big Ten Medley,” which combined all 14 schools' fight songs into one piece; Farther Sail!, by Eric Helmuth; Laudate Dominum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier; “Unter Dyne Vayse Shtern,” a Brant Adams arrangement; and “Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel,” arranged by Aaron Dale.

The Men’s Glee Club was in New York from Jan. 8 to Jan. 10. Joe Chekanoff, the club president, said MGC was very excited to perform in such a beautiful venue with the University Glee Club of New York and gave an amazing concert.

“Alice Tully Hall, famous for its beautiful wood architecture, carried a sound that the Ohio State Men's Glee Club hasn't heard through my four years in the ensemble,” Chekanoff said. “It savored the soft tunes and magnified the robust sound that MGC is known so well for.”

The performance had a special meaning to MGC because it was arranged by one of its alumni, Tim Sarsany.

Chekanoff said, “Glee Club members were free to roam and explore the city at their will, which allowed for a diverse experience catered to each individual -- and it was a blast.”
