Belmont Community Chorus

We love to sing! Our mission is to unite singers from the Belmont, Massachusetts community and surrounding area in fun with song. All are welcome. For beginner to experienced singers alike, we seek to provide an opportunity to gather regularly to sing with an ensemble, to improve our vocal skills (no matter the starting point!), and to perform as an ensemble at local venues. We sing a variety of exciting vocal music from yesterday to today.

In 2012, a small band of singers gathered on a warm, late-summer's night in the chorus room at Belmont High, to discuss the possibility of forming a community chorus. Some of us sang in the six-week Belmont Parent-Teacher Chorus that winter. Our founding leader, Kathy Ryan, asked "Why can't we keep on singing all year round?" We closed the evening singing an a cappella round, committed to "going for it;" our numbers were few, but our spirit was strong.

Belmonts

Dion & The Belmonts (named for a neighborhood street - Belmont Avenue), one of the defining vocal groups of the late 1950's, members were Dion DiMucci - lead, Fred Milano and Angelo D'Aleo on tenor, and Carlo Mastroangelo on bass. At first Dion and The Belmonts were separate entities although they both recorded for the small independent Mohawk label - Dion with "The Chosen Few" and "Out In Colorado" and The Belmonts with "Teenage Clementine" and "Santa Margarita" none of which were hits. They then signed with Laurie Records and now together recorded "I Wonder Why" which became a big hit. They had several other hits such as "When You Wish Upon A Star" and "Where Or When" but in 19601 they parted ways with Dion DiMucci going on to successful solo career.

Big Apple Chorus

When it was established in 1983, no one could have imagined that the Big Apple Chorus was going to make the kind of impact that would propel it through over 25 years of extraordinary musical performances. Its members are, after all, just ordinary people...husbands, wives, sons, fathers, mothers, and brothers...most without any formal musical training.

We work in just about every field you can think of. We are blue collar and white collar people, students and retirees, with a diversity that mirrors the great City our chorus so proudly represents - New York! And each week this seemingly-incongruous group gathers in Manhattan to make beautiful music together.

Why, one may ask, do we do it? The answer is simple: we sing for the joy of performing our beautiful and moving music for our appreciative audiences. And perform we do...with a verve and theatricality that puts the Big Apple Chorus in a class by itself.

For a group of men and women whose main musical qualification is simply that we enjoy singing and are able to carry a tune, the venues in which we have performed over the years (see "Chorus History") create for each of us an enviable list of stage experiences. The Big Apple Chorus has transformed scores of "ordinary Joe's" into stars!

Our members hail from all the boroughs of New York City, from New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut and from as far north as Saratoga Springs, New York. The map below will give you an idea of where we come from to sing with the Big Apple Chorus.

We appeared on eight seasons of the TV show Scrubs as "Ted's Band" or "The Worthless Peons" - yup, we're those same four guys. Our unique live show appeals to fans of Scrubs but just as equally to fans of the TV show Glee, the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges, and Monty Python.
