Brothers, Sing On My Half-Century Around the World with the Penn
Glee Club Bruce Montgomery "While you're reading this book, you
will find yourself enjoying a wonderful man."--Bill Cosby "As a
Penn alum (class of '48), and someone who has known Bruce
Montgomery for many years, I was happy to read of his adventures,
training and shepherding the Penn Glee Club. It is often funny,
earnest, and always interesting."--Hal Prince "Monty is a
treasure--and so is his book."--Marciarose Shestack In 1862, a
group of undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania put the
University's colors of red and blue in their buttonholes and gave
the first performance of the University of Pennsylvania Glee Club.
Ninety-four years later, in 1956, Bruce Montgomery became the Glee
Club's director and brought the Club to new heights of musicianship
and international acclaim. In his forty-four-year tenure, "Monty"
made the Glee Club the premier musical voice of the University and
brought Penn and the spirit of Philadelphia to audiences around the
world. The Glee Club has performed on five continents in thirty
countries and countless times in Philadelphia. In "Brothers, Sing
On " Monty shares his stories and experiences. From an impromptu
photo op on a Wisconsin highway during a blizzard in 1977 to
singing for U.S. presidents, this exhilarating memoir is filled
with the Glee Club's farflung adventures. Backstage anecdotes let
the reader step behind the scenes of such performances at home,
abroad, and on worldwide television. A reflection of Monty's
boundless energy and flair for showmanship, this volume also
includes stories of the students with whom the Glee Club director
worked in other clubs--the Penn Singers, the Marching Band, the
Penn Players, and the Mask & Wig Club, to name a few.
Throughout his memoir, Montgomery reflects fondly on the
development of the Glee Club. It is a testament to his immeasurable
contribution to its success and renown. Bruce Montgomery is former
director of musical activities at the University of Pennsylvania,
as well as former director of the Penn Glee Club and the University
Band. He is recognized internationally as one of America's foremost
authorities on the works of Gilbert & Sullivan and, indeed, has
directed and performed all fourteen of the operas both in the U.S.
and abroad. His compositions have been performed by such notable
ensembles as the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra
of Philadelphia. His 1964 Off-Broadway hit, "The Amorous Flea," is
still performed throughout the world and his paintings and
sculptures adorn private collections and galleries across the land.
He is both former director and musical director of the Mask &
Wig Club and the Penn Players. Currently he is acting director of
the Penn Singers. 2005 296 pages 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 75 illus. ISBN
