Welcome to the website of the Varsity Men's Glee Club at the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign. Founded in 1886, the University of Illinois Varsity Men's Glee Club is an all-male chorus and the only such choir on campus. Not only is VMGC a part of the School of Music, but it is also the oldest Registered Student Organization on campus, celebrating over 120 years of excellence. VMGC consists of both undergraduate and graduate students. We are all gathered for our love of music and passion for singing. For more information regarding VMGC history, members, audition information, and others, please see the Info section.
In addition to the main chorus, VMGC also features a smaller subset a cappella group, the Other Guys. One must be a member of VMGC to be a member of the Other Guys.
