Join us in our efforts
Since 1872 the Apollo Chorus of Chicago has continued to strive to create an inclusive community. We will not stand for the unequal treatment of anyone in our organization, in our communities, or in our country.
Performing Masterworks in Halls & Cathedrals Across Chicago
In recent years, 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.
Seamlessly Blending Voices of All Ages, Races, & Creeds
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.
