Annual Event

Morehouse College Glee Club Concert & Awards Gala

Each year, the Morehouse College Alumni Association–DC Chapter proudly welcomes the legendary Morehouse College Glee Club to the DMV for an unforgettable concert that stirs the soul.

More than a performance, this evening is always a celebration of a legacy that has defined harmonic excellence for generations. In that same spirit, we also honor distinguished local Morehouse Men during our Awards Ceremony, recognizing outstanding achievement, leadership, and service to the community.

This Concert and Awards Gala is also a vital fundraiser. All proceeds support our Caesar Hill '49/ Henry Stewart '99 Scholarship Fund, helping ensure that Morehouse students from the DMV metropolitan area have the financial support needed to complete their Morehouse education.

Where mission meets melody, your presence does more than fill a seat; it fuels opportunity, strengthens legacy, and empowers the next generation of Morehouse Men.
