One hundred and fifty years sound pretty good... 🎶🎵🎶 ⠀ ⠀ The Cornell Glee Club hit all the right notes during its sesquicentennial concert in New York City. This club, the first home to student singing at Cornell, formed in the fall of 1868, just a little more than a month after the university opened its doors. Through the years, thousands of men have performed in more than a dozen languages, bringing music to students and audiences around the world. ⠀ ⠀ Join the celebration as they end their national tour in Ithaca this Saturday, January 26 at the First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca. #Cornell — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2HwSfkh
