The UNI Varsity Men's Glee Club gave another successful performance, this time in the Czech Republic capital of Prague, on Saturday, May 17, 2008. The concert was held in the baroque Chapel of Mirrors, near the old town square.
To gather an audience, the men set out to the old town square and sang "Brother's Sing On", near the astromical clock tower. A large crowd gathered to hear the men sing, while snapping pictures and recording videos. As the Glee Club made their way to the performance hall, they continued to sing, and the people followed. Meanwhile, on a street not far from the Chapel of Mirrors, the eleven member small group, Camarata, was singing "Danny Boy" to the delight of the onlookers. The rest of the Glee Club joined them, and traffic was brought to a halt as the troops rallied in singing one final verse of "Brother's Sing On".

The 3:30 concert was almost full, due to this self promotional feat. Graduating senior Patrick Reidy said, "It was amazing to go out and bring in an audience, within a half hour of a performance. One of the most touching moments was seeing a woman in tears after we sang the Ave Maria."

This was the first concert the Glee Club has performed in Prague in 8 years.
The group performed at St Nikolas Church in 2000, only a few blocks away from the Chapel of Mirrors.
