About this Event
Elder High School is an all-boys high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, and its acclaimed Elder Glee Club has toured across the United States and much of Europe since 1976. For this concert tour, which is part of the York Festival of Ideas, the ensemble is led by Co-Directors Marco Colant and Justin Kohler.
From the bright lights of Broadway to beloved folk tunes from the US to Africa, and chart-topping pop — experience it all in powerful four-part male harmony! Audiences will enjoy a vibrant mix of classics, including timeless hits by The Temptations, the joyful groove of Stevie Wonder, and the sun-soaked harmonies of The Beach Boys. The program also features moving spirituals such as Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel, Climbin’ Up the Mountain, Poor Man Lazarus, and We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace, adding depth and soul to the performance. Blending rich choral tradition with the energy of pop and soul favourites, the Elder School Glee Club delivers an uplifting musical experience that celebrates harmony, nostalgia, and the joy of live performance.
