The Apollo

oldest musical organization, performing preeminent choral works at premier
venues. Founded in 1872 in the aftermath of the Great Chicago Fire, the chorus
is one of the oldest volunteer choral organizations in the United States and
the oldest musical organization in Chicago. Its approximately 120 auditioned
members include men and women of all ages, races, and backgrounds brought together
by their love of music. The chorus has performed the master works of the choral
repertoire, as well as new masterpieces from contemporary composers. The Apollo
Chorus has performed at notable historic events, such as the 1893 World’s
Columbian Exposition, the Century of Progress International Exposition, the
opening of Medinah Temple, the opening of Orchestra Hall (Apollo was
considered the official chorus of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra prior to the
formation of the Symphony Chorus), the opening of Navy Pier, and the “Oprah
Surprise Spectacular.” The Apollo Chorus continually strives to
advance musically and to share the power, beauty and majesty of choral music by
presenting concerts and educational programs for diverse communities throughout
Chicago and beyond.
