About Highland Glee Club

Originally known as the Highland Glee Club of Newton Highlands, the group was formed by a small group of men living in Newton who loved to sing and fellowship together. For years our rehearsals and concerts were performed in Newton. Most of our forefathers have passed on, but they left a heritage that endures today. Our theme song and motto "Ecce Quam Bonum" is as true today as it was then.

"Behold how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity."

During the 102 years we have been in existence, hundreds of men have sung in our chorus. We continue to support and encourage Male Glee Club singing in the hope of seeing greater interest and growth in this form of music. Since our members hail from many areas, we dropped the Newton from our name and because many of our members are from Needham, we now hold our rehearsals and concerts in Needham.

The club meets it's financial obligations to pay for its operational costs and to fund a music scholarship in the following ways:
• Ticket sales for our annual spring and winter concerts
• All members pay annual dues
• Fees for performances
• Friends of HGC sponsor our activities by donating as Patrons, Sustaining Members or as Associate Members
• Donations to our Music Scholarship Award Fund and,
• Through listings placed in our program books by local generous businesses.

Highland Glee Club is a 501-C-3 not-for-profit organization.
All donations are tax deductable.
