The Radcliffe Choral Society (RCS) is a 60-voice treble choral ensemble at Harvard University.[3] Founded in 1899, it is one of the country's oldest soprano-alto choruses and one of its most prominent collegiate choirs.[4] With the tenor-bass Harvard Glee Club and the mixed-voice Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, it is one of the Harvard Choruses. All three groups are led by Harvard Director of Choral Activities Andrew Clark. The RCS Resident Conductor is Elizabeth Eschen.[5] RCS tours domestically every year and travels internationally every four years.
