The 1936 tour of New York City of the Virginia Glee Club celebrated the Glee Club's 50th anniversary, as calculated at that time, as part of the 1935-1936 season. The tour included performances with the Barnard College Glee Club of Columbia University (February 27) and at the Plaza Hotel (February 28).[1]
The Barnard performance was part of their Prom Celebration. The Glee Club gave a separate concert there followed by a special dance. The Plaza Hotel performance was hosted by the Virginians of New York, an alumni club, and was broadcast via the radio.
