About Pitt Men's Glee Club
The Pitt Men's Glee Club is the oldest extra-curricular organization at the University of Pittsburgh, as well as the first collegiate musical ensemble at this University. The Club was founded in 1890 by Mr. John L. High. He was a graduate of Amherst College, MA. The group began as a mere octet, consisting of 2 first tenors, 2 second tenors, 2 baritones, and 2 basses. At the time, the school was known as the Western University of Pennsylvania. In 1891, the University's name was changed to the present one, and the Glee Club Association was merged with the Banjo and Mandolin Clubs. Records show that in 1901, the Club was listed as "purely a student organization, consisting of members of the Glee Club and Mandolin Clubs-It's objective was to stimulate the musical interest among the undergraduates, to promote sociability, to develop the college spirit, and to promote the fair name of 'Old Uni.' In 1922, the organization was still operating under the combined titles of musical clubs, but in 1923, the group's name was changed to the Glee Club and Ensemble. And in 1926, after performing for a short time with the Dental Chorus (comprised of students from Pitt Dental School), the Glee Club evolved into the organization it is today. Past music directors have included Earl Yearsley, Dr. W. H. Wright, Theodore M. Finney, David Weiss, Emanuel Rubin, Thomas Caruso, Phillip Cavanaugh, David Mitchell, Nina Tober, John Yankee, Kim Rauch, Greg Scheer, Kristin Dell Rust, Andrew Greiner, and Stephen Greene. The group's present director is Richard Teaster. The current Club is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as staff members from throughout the University. Traditionally, the Glee Club has sung for a variety of campus-wide and community functions, including graduations, receptions, alumni gatherings, sporting events, and Chancellor's events. They have also performed in many volunteer venues, including nursing homes, hospitals, and retirement communities. ww.pittmensgleeclub.org Singers: Tenor I Paul Bowers Mike Cunningham Dexter Gulick Greg Hill Christopher Hughes Mahir Khan Evan Pavloff TJ Schultz CJ Starke Evan Zajdel Tenor II Joel Arter Tim Barthelmes Cody Baxter Victor Bench Ezekiel Braun Matt Cahalan Nicholas Czarnek Charlie Eichman Mark Ellenberger Steve Farley Ben Greenwood Brendan McKinley Vineet Raghu Truman Simpson Michal Valko Mike Wilkins Baritone Kevin Brady Mason Cooper Bennett Garner Paul Grosser Raul Larsen Davis Markle Eric Markley** Ryan McGinnis James Montgomery John Moriarty Max Murray Vikram Raghu Matthew Recker Ryan Ricarte Brendan Schatzki Paul Schillinger Michael Sternberg Brian Xu Bass Ukwen Akpoji Danny Bresticker Daniel Coast Richard Coaxum Ben Dichter Will Friedman Dillon Haas Kevin Hamp Dan Khan Daniel Kilkelly Tyler Kirkland Tyler Lehman Evan McCullough Mike Neiderhauser Josh Niznik Jared Wilson
