Mixed Choral Chorus

Based in Chicago, IL

The Apollo Chorus of Chicago is the area's premier volunteer chorus. Its over 120 auditioned members include men and women of all ages, races, creeds, and occupations brought together by their abiding love of music. The voices of college students blend seamlessly with the voices of retirees who have belonged to Apollo for over fifty years. The singers' dedication, artistry, and passion produce performances of unrivaled majesty.

Apollo performs the masterworks of the choral repertoire in concert halls and cathedrals all over the Chicagoland area. Recently the Chorus has performed Mendelssohn's Elijah, Bach's Mass in b minor, Orff's Carmina Burana, and Mozart's Requiem. Apollo's annual performances of Handel's complete Messiah have become a beloved holiday tradition for Chicago families. Apollo embraces new masterpieces too and has featured contemporary composers Eric Whitacre, Eleanor Daley, and Stephen Paulus in its repertoire. Annual Spring Concerts showcase the Chorus's range spanning from spirituals to sambas, Baroque to the Blues.

Founded - 1872.   Auditioned.
