The University of Pittsburgh Men's Glee Club (also known as the Pitt Men's Glee Club or PMGC) is an internationally recognized men's choir of students at the University of Pittsburgh and is the oldest nonathletic extracurricular group at the University.[1] Founded in 1890 by John L. High, the Glee Club performs at the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh and normally goes on a concert tour each year, with an international tour every 3rd year.[2] Recently, the Glee Club has performed in areas such as Texas, Philadelphia, New York City, Belgium, France, and a recent 125th anniversary tour of Italy in the spring of 2015.

As of 2024, the club's director is Richard Teaster, who has led the group and its subset, the Pantherhythms, since 1999.[3] The current elected-board of the group for 2024–2025 is CJ Wrightson (President), Aries Cepeda (Vice President), Donovan Hoffman (Secretary) Presley Gerena (Business Manager) and Rory Kaplan (Social and Outreach Chair).[4]
