Description
The Apollo Chorus of Chicago is excited to present its annual Apollo After Hours cabaret night and silent auction on April 4th 2014 to support Apollo’s musical and community outreach programs. All proceeds go to support the chorus, but we can’t do it without your help! The Apollo Chorus of Chicago is the area's premier volunteer choir and one of the oldest musical ensembles in the United States. Its 125-plus auditioned members include men and women of all ages, races, creeds, and occupations brought together by their love of singing. The singers’ dedication, artistry, and passion produce performances of unrivalled majesty. As a volunteer community chorus bound together since 1872 by a shared love of choral music, the chorus continually strives to advance musically and to increase appreciation of choral music by presenting concerts and educational outreach programs for diverse communities throughout Chicagoland.
Each year, the chorus performs at free outreach events in the community, and provides educational activites and tickets to our major concerts for schools. Recent outreach efforts include:
• Free performances for patients at the Hines Veteran’s Hospital Spinal Cord Injury Center
• Inviting students from several local organizations to attend concerts as well as dress rehearsals and receive an educational program from the music director. Recent organizations include Gads Hill Center, among the oldest and most respected non-profit youth education and family resource centers on Chicago's South Side, and METROsquash, an organization that teaches underprivileged Chicago Public School students (grades 5-9) the game of squash as well as other academic and cultural experiences.
• A Messiah sing-along at Mather Lifeways, a non-profit senior residence facility
• Caroling at the “Bean” in Millennium Park and at the Lincoln Park Zoo
• Creating Student Guides for classical music concerts available at the concerts and for download online
• Our annual preview concert, presented free of charge and open to all who wish to experience great choral music.
