Loreleis are a non-profit, women-only a capella group, was founded in 1981. The group performs for campus and community events, releases an album every other year, and tours nationally and internationally twice a year.

In the fall of 1977, two University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill students, Barry Saunders and Tom Terrell, formed the University’s first a cappella group. In December of that year, the men-only group (then known as the Morrison Dorm Singers) performed for the first time at the old Morrison Dorm Coffeehouse. It would not be until 1978 that the group settled on the name “Clef Hangers,” adopted their now-traditional vests and bow ties, and held their first official performance one April afternoon in the Pit.

Pauper Players, established in 1989, is a student-run organization dedicated to bringing musical theater productions to UNC-CH’s campus. The group produces a fall musical, a Broadway musical revue, and a spring musical every year.

The Student Musical Groups records consist of Loreleis concert posters and audition flyers. Also included are recordings of performances by the Clef Hangers, Pauper Players, Loreleis, Tar Heel Voices, and other student performing groups.
