Apollo Club of Boston

In 1874, the Apollo Club sang at the funeral services of Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner and received a note of appreciation from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

More recently, the Apollo Club has been featured in commemorative events such as Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremonies at the Charlestown Navy Yard.

[5][6] The Apollo Club has commissioned and performed significant works, including a setting of Paul Revere's Ride and other choral pieces by prominent composers.

[1] Today, the club has approximately 25 members and performs a varied repertoire of show tunes, sea shanties, patriotic, love, and folk songs at venues around the Boston area.

The club is directed by Steven Lipsitt, former leader of the Yale Russian Chorus and Pitchpipe of the Whiffenpoofs, who also serves as music director of the Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms Society Orchestra.
