The Apollo Chorus of Chicago is excited to present its annual Apollo After Hours cabaret night and silent auction on April 1 2023 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! As members of the chorus, we are writing to request your support in the form of a tax-deductible donation, and to thank you for your support in the past. We are proud of our 150-year history, and with your help, we will continue to provide music with artistry and passion to the Chicagoland community and beyond for future generations. You can support Apollo with an in-kind donation to our After Hours silent auction—such as a gift certificate and some branded merchandise to display with it. No contribution is too small; every dollar helps our rich tradition of music-making continue. 

Apollo After Hours is our main fundraising event of the year, and advertising for the event reaches thousands more.

Your support of this event offers a unique opportunity to promote your business and products to a very professional, upscale audience. Your message can reach over 5,000 individuals through programs, home mailings, email, and the web in addition to those present at the event - music aficionados from all walks of life: professionals, retirees, and recent college graduates. They, their friends and families faithfully support the chorus and its sponsors! In addition to items for our silent auction and/or raffle, we also invite you to support the mission of the Apollo Chorus of Chicago through a corporate partnership or cash sponsorship of this event.
