South Africa is a nation of
diversity. Its population includes
nearly 52-million people with
11 different languages spoken
by a wide variety of cultures,
languages and religious beliefs.
Former UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan describes South
Africa as a country where one
can expect the unexpected, “...an
inspiration for all.” “What made
it possible was the determination
of the people of South Africa to
work together to transform bitter
experiences into the binding glue
of a rainbow nation.”
At a time when our University,
per the charge of President
Schlissel, has placed diversity,
equity and inclusion as the
highest priorities of our campus
for the next few years, I can’t
think of a better time for the
Glee Club to travel to one of
the most diverse nations in the
world. Our travel will include
cultural exchanges, sight-seeing,
dancing, drumming and singing
workshops and performing with
a variety of groups from various
Universities and communities.
Touring with one of the largest
groups in club’s history (88
clubbers and host of alumni/
family and friends), we look
forward to learning from our
new friends in Africa and telling
stories through our songs.
We are most excited this term
to celebrate diversity through
musical excellence as we continue
our theme of Ubomi: Love,
Life and Loss. Repertoire will
include a Pan-African medley,
Schubert-Grab und Mond,
Conte-Dance (Walt Whitman),
Ramsey-Requiescat, AlwesThe world is too much with us
(William Wordsworth) and David
Brunner’s O Music featuring
the cello studio of Professor
Richard Aaron. Included in our
repertoire are three new works.
Roderick Williams, an AfroBritish composer and singer from
London, wrote a new work for the
Glee Club as a tribute
to the great Nelson Mandela.
Williams’ work entitled Love,
Life and Loss uses the William
Ernest Henley’s Invictus text with
several phrases in Xhosa that
describe the world leader, Mr.
Nelson Mandela. Another new
work written for the Glee Club,
thanks to the generosity
of Mr. Benjamin Rizzo, is Ethan
Sperry’s Blossoming Lotus.
Blossoming Lotus is based on
konnakol syllables used by Indian
drummers as a tool for speaking
their rhythmic patterns. The
piece explores the mathematical
relationships between seven and
eight--becoming increasingly
more complex as each melodic
line builds into tone clusters.
This semester has been full with
preparations for our historic tour;
performing for the University of
Michigan MLK Keynote speaker
--Naomi Tutu (Bishop Desmond
Tutu’s daughter); participation
and performance at the National
IMC Seminar at the University
of Illinois- Urbana-Champaign
and, work on a University
of Michigan-produced video
recording and documentary
of the Seven Last Words of
the Unarmed and Glory (to be
released in April). I hope to see
many of you at our Ann Arbor
South Africa Send-Off concert on
April 9th!

The State of the Glee Club: Words from the President
Ryan J. Carrell ‘16
President
The 156th season of the University
of Michigan Men’s Glee Club is
defined by unchartered territory and
unprecedented endeavors. When
planning began last July, South Africa
was in the forefront of our minds; we
never could have predicted the exciting
opportunities given to the group over
the past few months.
From a musical standpoint, it is difficult
to choose a sole highlight from this
semester. The musicality, artistry, and
intrinsic motivation all members of
this group exude continues to astound
me. From our MLK Symposium
performance to a well-spent afternoon
in Saginaw, Dr. Rogers has driven the
Club to new peaks of musical excellence.
There is such excitement surrounding
our current repertoire.
In February, the Club committed itself
to many hours of filming for a Seven
Last Words & Glory Performance Video/
Documentary. We were supportive in
pioneering University diversity, equity,
and inclusion initiatives through our
musical message. The resulting footage
is nothing short of breathtaking – it is
sure to be both thought-provoking and
inspiring!

Laudes: Volume XLII, No. 1
In March, the Glee Club closed out the
Intercollegiate Male Chorus Festival
at the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign. Beyond our memorable
headlining set, Clubbers explored the
Illinois campus and interacted with
male choral members from neighboring
universities. Our Winter Tour always
breeds new friendships and amusing
stories. We are so fortunate to provide
this experience to Clubbers each year, in
addition to our Spring Tour.
This accessibility is rooted in the
generous support of our great alumni
and University. We are so thankful for
your continued investment in the Glee
Club’s success. This year’s fundraising
efforts included a substantial donation
by the College of Engineering, and the
Club greatly appreciates its continued
attention by the University community.
I sincerely thank everyone for his or
her financial backing of the Club’s
operations.
Snaps are well-deserved by all Executive
Board members and Junior Managers.
All of these organizational branches
have overcome many challenges
throughout the year. The Alumni Team,
led by Alec Josaitis ’17, Clem Turner
’19, and Alex Wilf ’19, has facilitated a
strong open-dialogue between the Club
and its supportive alumni network.
Meanwhile, the Operations Team has
ensured streamlined logistics for this
volatile semester, due to the hard work
of Tom Wilson ’16 and Stephen Amori
’18. Our Publicity Team has guaranteed
a professional image that reflects our
musical efforts, and I commend Patrick
Kiessling ’17 and Teddy Gotfredson ’18
for such polish. The Business Team,
under direction of Joseph Kiessling ’17
and Danny Luan ’17, has maintained
financial security for the Glee Club.
Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t
thank Vice President Kyle Walenta ’16
and Parliamentarian Jordan SolanoReed ’16 for their contributions.
And yet, the Glee Club is focused on
what lies ahead. We strive to continue
our innovative efforts as we lay the
framework for our November 2017
Bicentennial Symposium event. The
weekend will feature seminars led
by world-renowned presenters, host
performances by premiere choral
groups, and culminate in a global
concert with participants joining
together at Hill Auditorium. The Glee
Club looks forward to highlighting its
efforts as “Ambassadors of Song” on
behalf of the University of Michigan.
Additionally, we look forward to a tour
of the Michigan state as a component of
our Spring 2017 East Coast Tour, meant
to give back to celebrate the state that
shapes us, as well as allow for all Club
members to join us on Spring Tour. Of
course, we look forward to hosting many
of you – our alumni – throughout these
exciting events.
The Glee Club has been nothing short of
a definitive college experience for me. It
has been an honor to create music and
learn from such bright and well-rounded
individuals. Additionally, I am grateful
for the guidance and wisdom given to
me by Dr. Rogers and Peter Niedbala.
I am humbled to have led this group. I
look forward to future developments,
and expect our friendships to last a
lifetime. This has been my Michigan
Difference.
Thank you for letting me partake in
the Tradition, Camaraderie, & Musical
Excellence. I will cherish these four
years of memories until the day I die.
Forever Go Blue,
Ryan Carrell
All Are Welcome
The Call to Come Together
Kyle Walenta ‘16
Alumni Relations Manager
Vice President
Throughout my 4 years in
this group, I have seen an
expansion of diversity in the
Men’s Glee Club that I am
truly proud to be a part of.
With nearly our entire group,
80+ clubbers, embarking on
the tour to South Africa in
May, we are bringing students
from several colleges across
campus halfway around the
world. The group currently
consists of members from the
colleges of Literature, Science
& the Arts, Engineering,
Kinesiology, Music, Theatre
& Dance, and several more.
Having the opportunity to
experience South African
culture with my own brothers
in song is incredible because
I know the opportunity to
delve into their rich history
through various museums and
tours will undoubtedly have
a lasting impact on each and
every one of us. I would also
like to give a warm welcome
to the 8 new members of our
group (New New Guys) this
semester, several of whom
took it upon themselves to
learn all the music from last
semester and have become
eligible for our South African
Tour.
Our club also recently hosted a
workshop with SAPAC (Sexual
Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center), a health
organization on campus, to
raise awareness and increasing
understanding of sexual
assault amongst our members
and to stimulate conversation
about a topic which can often
be difficult to discuss as a
group. The workshop was
wildly successful with over 40
clubbers present and actively
engaging in the conversation
about how to prevent sexual
assault at our social events
and beyond. I am so proud of
our orgaanization for standing
against such a prominent
problem across college
campuses and consistently
working towards creating a
safer and more comfortable
environment for everyone in
this incredible organization.
As my time comes to an end in
this club, I can confidently say
that I am proud to be a part of
an organization like the Men’s
Glee Club, a group where
young men grow through
Tradition, Camaraderie, and
Musical Excellence!
Clement Turner ‘19
I am excited to say that the Men’s
Glee Club will have nearly 50
people joining us on our tour to
South Africa! This group, joining
us as a part of the alumni, family,
and friends component of our
tour, more importantly consists of
several brothers in song, an array of
mothers, fathers, and even siblings,
and folks who simply cherish the
Men’s Glee Club and wish to join
us on this incredible journey. The
list of names can be seen in the
rightmost column.
As Alumni Relations Manager, I
recognize and value the devotion
this group has for the Men’s Glee
Club, and I can’t say enough
how grateful and excited I am
to experience South Africa with
this group of 48 alumni, family,
and friends. I look forward to
reconnecting with familiar faces and
listening to some of the stories of
new faces, as well.
This group, alongside the over 80
members of Club going on tour, is
a symbol of the unifying power of
the University of Michigan Men’s
Glee Club. I believe that this tour
will mark a powerful reinforcement
to the Club’s three classic pillars:
tradition, camaraderie, and
musical excellence. Tradition in
the unification of brothers old and
new; camaraderie in the stories
we’ll share and the laughs we’ll have
together; musical excellence in the
program we intend to share with the
communities of South Africa.

On Creating a Financially Inclusive Tour
Danny Luan ‘17
Business Manager
The Business Team has finally made the
last payment to Classical Movements, our
tour company for our fast approaching tour
to South Africa. The Glee Club has been
able to subsidize each clubber’s tour costs
by $1,250 through the generous support of
alumni, individual donors, and different
schools across the University, most notably
the College of Engineering. In addition to
this $1,250 that we have provided for each
individual clubber, we have provided close
to $20,000 in individual scholarships in
order to ensure that financial need is not a
hurdle to attending a tour that figures to be
a truly unique and wonderful cultural and
educational experience.
As we continue to raise funds to cover our
international tour, we look forward to visiting South Africa and to the 2017 Bicenten-
nial celebration. If you have any interest
in helping us fund both the tour and the
upcoming festivities, you can donate online
at http://tinyurl.com/ummgc-giving.
The Business team would like to personally
thank our alumni for your continuous and
outstanding support of this organization.
It is directly because of your support that
we are able to perform at such fantastic
venues and share our messages with communities across the globe. Thank you!
Exploring South Africa
Stephen Amori ‘18
Operations Manager
I am really excited to begin working
as the new Operations Manager of
the Glee Club. We’ve spent the last
semester busy at rehearsals, several
key performances, and even making
a documentary. However, the most
exciting part of the semester will occur this May, when the Glee Club will
be departing on our first-ever tour to
South Africa.
Our adventure begins on Monday, May
9 as we leave the Detroit airport for a
long, 17 hour flight. We will first arrive
in Johannesburg, which is the unofficial business and financial capital of
South Africa. The city is energized with
a wide variety of museums, theatres,
and it’s renowned mix of cultures.
While in Johannesburg, we will give
a concert, tour the Rosebank African
Craft Market (full of local foods and
art), and visit the famous Apartheid
museum, documenting the country’s
fight against racism and corruption. In
addition, we will be spending a day just
outside of the city at an Safari Game
Park, where we will get to see all sorts
of animals and wildlife native to the
area.

Laudes: Volume XLII, No. 1
From Johannesburg, we will travel
to Potchefstroom, another large city
famous for housing the North-West
University. We will be holding a collaborative concert with the Nort-West
University choir, along with exploring
the Sterkfontein caves, a site of many
large fossil discoveries. Following
Potchefstroom, we will spend a day
in Soweto, the hometown of Nelson
Mandela. We’ll tour the city, visiting
his home and the many monuments
dedicated to him and the country’s
movement to end Apartheid. Afterwards, we’ll join a South African choral
clinic to learn about different styles of
African music. Two days after our time
in Soweto, we’ll travel to Pretoria, the
administrative capital of South Africa.
Besides giving a concert, we’ll tour the
city and spend time in Freedom Park, a
park dedicated to the nation’s struggle
for civil rights.
After traveling from city to city, we will
finally settle down for four days in Cape
Town, a city with strong Dutch, French,
British, and Malay influences. The city
is located on the bottom-most tip of the
country, where the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans meet. While in Cape Town, we’ll
have two concerts, a tour, a scenic trip
from the bottom of the ocean-side cliffs
to the top of Table Mountain, and an
opportunity to help with local volunteer
organizations.
After our time in Cape Town, we’ll
spend our final two full days in Stellenbosch and Robben Island. Stellenbosch, the largest tourist site in the
country, is home to over 140 vineyards
and wine-tasting venues, and is the
second oldest city in the nation. We’ll
have the opportunity to explore and
tour the city and possibly have a final
concert there. Afterwards, we will head
to Robben Island, an old prison that
used to hold Nelson Mandela while he
was fighting for freedom in his country.
We will get to spend some time on the
beach while we explore the island and
its rich history. Then, after spending
a day on the island, we will board our
plane and head back to Michigan on
Tuesday, May 24.
With over 80 clubbers, and nearly 50
family and friends planning to attend
the tour, we are all very excited about
this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Having
never left North America myself, I have
been counting down the days until our
departure all year in anticipation of
what will one of our best tours yet, and
of course, none of it would be possible
without the support and dedication of
you, our fantastic alumni. All of us in
the Glee Club are always appreciative
of all you do for us, and can’t wait to
build on the rich history and tradition
that has kept our club running for 156
years.
Inspiring Discussion Through Song
Patrick T Kiessling ‘17
Publicity Manager
“I now know what cruel and unusual
punishment is, and that is following up
the Men’s Glee Club.” So began Nontombi
Naomi Tutu’s keynote address at the
University of Michigan MLK Memorial
Lecture in Hill Auditorium. The daughter
of Desmond Tutu began her speech by
thanking the Men’s Glee Club for our
opening performance, and went on to
urge all in attendance to say that “we will
be next” to stand up for diversity, equity,
and inclusion measures throughout our
community and society. Our well-received
performance at the this event was just
one of the ways that the Glee Club has
supported the University’s recent efforts
toward diversity, equity, and inclusion
this year, and the Club continues to do so
through many different public relations
outlets.
The Glee Club continues to perform
the stirring work we premiered at our
Fall Hill Concert this year, “Seven Last
Words of the Unarmed,” as well as our
director’s own arrangement of the song
“Glory,” from the movie Selma. Whether
on campus at the MLK Symposium,
in Saginaw, Michigan for our PreHill Concert, or at our performance
in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois for
the Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses
Conference, we hope to continue to
inspire discussion of current social issues
through our various public performances.
We also look forward to sharing these
pieces with a larger public through a
University of Michigan-produced video
recording and documentary of these
works. The Glee Club has been working
tirelessly on this passion project, and
we hope to represent the University’s
diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts
through this artistic endeavor.
In performing these works, the publicity
team has also made significant efforts
toward reaching a larger, more diverse
audience this year. We contacted many
student groups on campus, as well as
specific university-offered classes that we
believed would enjoy our performance
and engage in further conversation on the
social issues we address. Along with the
pursuit of a wide variety of publicity
avenues, including an enhanced social
media strategy and a campus-wide
campaign using the artwork of Shirin
Barghi, the publicity team helped draw
one of the largest crowds in recent
memory to our Hill Concert this past fall.
The community outreach initiatives of
the Glee Club also continue to show our
activism in creating a diverse culture at
the University of Michigan. We continued
our Brothers in Song program this year,
collaborating with the very talented
men of Renaissance High School in both
our Fall Hill Concert and their school’s
Holiday Concert. We also held yet another
successful Male Vocal Arts Day at the
beginning of this semester, inspiring
young men from across the state to
continue their musical endeavors and to
consider an education at the University
of Michigan. We look forward to
furthering and expanding these and other
outreach initiatives as we evolve as an
organization.
The Publicity Team would like to be
the first to officially invite you to our
upcoming Spring Hill Concert on
Saturday, April 9th! This will be our
send-off concert for our upcoming tour
to South Africa, and we look forward to
sharing some truly incredible music with
all of you. Tickets and more information
are available on our website at ummgc.
org.
Each year, the publicity team faces
the unique challenge of how to best
communicate our themes for the year.
This year’s theme of “UBOMI: Love,
Life, and Loss” seemed to fit perfectly
within the University’s new efforts toward
diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we
look forward to exploring how we can
challenge ourselves and our audiences to
consider these issues. By continuing to
actively expand our audience as well as
further our community outreach efforts,
the Glee Club’s Publicity Team strives to
maintain the Glee Club’s relevance and
necessity to both our campus and our
community.
