The Harris Theater for Music and Dance will co-present the Morehouse College Glee Club, as it celebrates its monumental 100th Anniversary season. The Morehouse College Glee Club and the renowned Morehouse College Glee Club Quartet will make its Harris Theater debut on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 7:30 pm with “the stirring and soulful performances that have earned the ensembles a reputation for excellence.”
Under the direction of Dr. David Morrow, the nation’s only African-American, all-male glee club is recognized throughout the world for their impassioned performances at such momentous occasions as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s funeral; President Jimmy Carter’s inauguration; Super Bowl XXVIII; the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta with Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and Trisha Yearwood; as part of the soundtrack for the movie School Daze, directed by Morehouse alumni Spike Lee; and most recently at the dedication of the Dr. King Monument on the National Mall.
