WGC Today
The Ohio State University Women’s Glee Club, established in 1903, strives to connect and empower women, non-binary, and gender-fluid people interested in singing music in the treble range. Additionally, it has the distinction of being the first musical organization to appear in concert in Mershon Auditorium. The Women’s Glee Club membership represents a wide variety of majors and interests, with singers ranging from freshmen to graduate students. Members work to improve and expand musicianship through challenging and varied repertoire focused especially on works by women and BIPOC composers.
One of the organization's main goals is to grow in kinship and compassion through bonding and activism. Our partnerships with community organizations like Alvis and Huckleberry House link our artistry with needs in our community. Members of the Women’s Glee Club participate in a variety of on- and off-campus events including major conference performances, featured performances for concert series’ around the state, performing Buckeye tunes around campus on game days, caroling during the holiday season, and traveling to share their music. Additionally, The Women’s Glee Club aims to amplify historically underrepresented voices through engagement and music.
Women’s Glee Club is led and directed by Jordan Saul, assistant teaching professor of Choral Music Education. As an educator, Saul models not only current and relevant practices in choral pedagogy, but also student advocacy and service, further contributing to WGC’s advocacy for community evolution and cultural competencies in the arts.
