Glee Club, 'Cliffe Choral Group to Tour With B.S.O.

The Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society will go on tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this spring, Harry J. Kraut '54, manager to the Glee Club, announced yesterday.

About 95 members of the two groups will perform jointly with the B.S.O. at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., on March 11, and at Carnegie Hall in New York on March 13.

Although in the past, the two groups have sung with the B.S.O. in Symphony Hall, this is the first time, they will have ever toured with them.

"This is quite an honor. It is the greatest thing that has happened in a long time for the Glee Club an Choral Society," Kraut said yesterday.

They will perform "Romeo and Juliet," by Berlioz, which they recorded with the Symphony Orchestra last year. It is felt that the success of the recording was one of the main reasons that the B.S.O. has extended the invitation to go on tour.

The combined Glee Club-Choral Society will also appear jointly with the Orchestra at Symphony Hall this spring. They will sing the "Damnation of Faust," by Berlioz, on Feb. 19 and 20.
